Cigarette smoke-free home adoption attempts among formerly homeless adults living in permanent supportive housing.

Introduction

Globally, tobacco use causes 8.7 million deaths annually. Approximately 50 % of formerly homeless adults in permanent supportive housing (PSH) in the United States smoke cigarettes.
