Secondhand Smoke and Adults
A growing number of Colorado adults — smokers and non-smokers alike — recognize the risks of secondhand smoke and try to avoid smoky settings whenever they can. Coloradans are also coming to see that a smoke-filled room is more than just an uncomfortable place to be; it is a genuine threat to health.

  • When eating out, close to one-third of adult smokers ask to sit in non-smoking sections, and 77 percent of all Colorado adults request non-smoking seating
  • Almost two-thirds of homes with adult smokers have made their home smokefree, and three-fourths of Colorado households are completely smokefree
  • Large majorities of Coloradans believe smoking should be prohibited in schools (89 percent), indoor workplaces (70 percent) and public places (62 percent)
