The percentage living in homes where smoking was allowed decreased from 37% to 26% (OR=0.30; 95% CI 0.20 to 0.43). Among children with a parent who smoked, one in five and one in two continued to report that smoking was allowed in their car and home.

Substantial numbers of children continue to report that smoking is allowed in cars and homes, particularly children from poorer families.
