* Based on question: "Which statement best describes the rules about smoking in
your home: No one is allowed to smoke anywhere, smoking is permitted in some places or at
some times, or smoking is permitted anywhere." Percentages represent choice "no one is
allowed to smoke anywhere."
† Assessed by asking: "Does your place of work have an official policy that
restricts smoking in any way?"; "Which of these best describes your place of work's
smoking policy for indoor public or common areas, such as lobbies, rest rooms, and lunch
rooms?"; and "Which of these best describes your place of work's smoking policy for work
areas" [with response categories: "Not allowed in any (public/work) areas/Allowed in some
(public/work) areas/Allowed in all (public/work) areas"]. Percentages represent those
reporting smoking is "not allowed in any publc area" and "not allowed in any work area"
among indoor non-self employed workers (who do not work in a home environment, in several
buildings, or in a motor vehicle).
‡ In the 2003 CPS, multiple races were allowed. Here "White" equals
non-Hispanic, only White race reported; "Black" equals non-Hispanic, only Black race
reported; "American Indian/Alaska Native" equals non-Hispanic, only American Indian/Alaska
Native race reported; "Asian/Pacific Islander" equals non-Hispanic, only Asian/Native
Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander race reported; "2 or more races reported" equals
non-Hispanic, 2 or more races reported. Note more than half of this last category is
composed of non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Natives also reporting one or more other
races. Also, non-Hispanic Asian/Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islanders reporting some
other race(s) make up the next largest subcategory within this grouping (mainly the Native
Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islanders).
