Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals secondhand smoke reduces quit attempts and successful cessation, indicating public health concerns.

Key Points

  • Secondhand smoke exposure significantly impedes quit attempts and tobacco cessation among Indian adults.
  • SHS exposure at home independently reduced odds of quit attempts by 28% and successful cessation by 35%.
  • The study utilized multilevel logistic regression to assess the effects of SHS across home, workplace, and public places.
  • Findings underscore the need for targeted public health interventions in tobacco control to address SHS exposure.
