Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2011 and March 2012 (n=1307 participants). Setting: Barcelona, Spain. Participants: Representative, random sample of the adult (≥16 years) population. Primary and secondary outcomes: Proportion of smoking and prevalence of exposure to SHS in the various settings according to type of enclosure. Percentages of support for outdoor smoke-free policies according to smoking status. Results: Smokers reported smoking outdoors most in bars and restaurants (54.8%), followed by outdoor places at work (46.8%). According to non-smokers, outdoor SHS exposure was highest at home (42.5%) and in bars and restaurants (33.5%). Among non-smoking adult students, 90% claimed exposure to SHS on university campuses. There was great support for banning smoking in the majority of outdoor areas, which was stronger among non-smokers than smokers. Over 70% of participants supported smoke-free playgrounds, school and high school courtyards, and the grounds of healthcare centres. Conclusions: Extending smoking bans to selected outdoor settings should be considered in further tobacco control interventions to protect non-smokers from SHS exposure and to establish a positive model for youth. The majority of public support for some outdoor smoke-free areas suggests that it is feasible to extend smoking bans to additional outdoor settings.Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona 22015-01-0120152015-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/300256https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2014-007554reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengGeneralitat de Catalunya https://doi.org/10.13039/501100002809 2009SGR192Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003329 RD12/0036/0053Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo RD06/0020/0089open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
