Exposure rates to secondhand smoke among Korean adults aged 19 and over, 2007-2017
Between 2007 and 2017, the exposure rate to secondhand smoke at home among Korean adults aged 19 years and over fell by a 10.0 percentage point (%p) decrease (from 14.7% in 2007 to 4.7% in 2017) and the exposure rate to secondhand smoke in indoor working areas dropped considerably by a 33.3%p decrease (from 46.0% in 2007 to 12.7% in 2017). The declines in the exposure rates to secondhand smoke in indoor working areas and public areas were especially prominent after the year 2012, most probably due to continued expansion of non-smoking areas (Figure A).
