Number of Smoke-Free Households on the Increase
05.24.07, 12:00 AM ET
THURSDAY, May 24 (HealthDay News) -- The proportion of American households that forbid smoking increased from 43 percent in 1992-93 to 72 percent in 2003, a new government report shows.
However, rates of smoke-free households varied widely among states. In both 1992-93 and 2003, Utah had the highest rates of smoke-free homes (69.6 percent in 1992-93 and 88.8 percent in 2003), while Kentucky had the lowest rates -- 25.7 percent and 53.4 percent, respectively.
The study is in this week's issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which is published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"In the past decade, we've seen tremendous declines in secondhand smoke exposure in the workplace and public places. However, millions of children and nonsmoking adults remain at risk, because their homes are not smoke-free," CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding said in a prepared statement. "The single best step that smokers can take to protect the health of nonsmoking family members and their own health is to quit smoking."
A second study in the same issue of MMWR found that 47 percent of teenagers worldwide are exposed to secondhand smoke at home, and 48 percent are exposed to secondhand smoke in other locations. Researchers analyzed data on teens, aged 13-15, in 137 countries and territories, who took part in the Global Youth Tobacco Survey.
The study also concluded that teens who were exposed to secondhand smoke were more likely to start smoking.
Progress is being made in raising public awareness about the dangers of secondhand smoke and reducing nonsmoker's exposure to it, but "too many youth in the United States continue to be exposed, and children around the world are being exposed in huge numbers," Dr. Matt McKenna, director of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health, said in a prepared statement.
Smoke-free environments are the theme for this year's World No Tobacco Day on May 31. The annual event is sponsored by the World Health Organization. This year, the CDC and other organizations around the world will provide the public and government officials with information about the health hazards of secondhand smoke and highlight progress being made in protecting nonsmokers. 本人已认领该文编译，48小时后若未提交译文，请其他战友自由认领。 It's a piece of good news. 本人已认领该文编译，48小时后若未提交译文，请其他战友自由认领 http://www.forbes.com/forbeslife/health/feeds/hscout/2007/05/24/hscout604921.html

THURSDAY, May 24 (HealthDay News) -- The proportion of American households that forbid smoking increased from 43 percent in 1992-93 to 72 percent in 2003, a new government report shows.
5月24日星期四（今日健康新闻）：
美国禁烟家庭的比例由1992-93年的43％上升到2003年的72％，一份新的政府报告中说。
However, rates of smoke-free households varied widely among states. In both 1992-93 and 2003, Utah had the highest rates of smoke-free homes (69.6 percent in 1992-93 and 88.8 percent in 2003), while Kentucky had the lowest rates -- 25.7 percent and 53.4 percent, respectively.
然而，无烟家庭的比例在各个州之间很大程度上不同。在1992-93年和2003年中，，美国都有最高的无烟家庭比例(1992-93为 69.6％和 2003年为88.8％)。与此同时，肯塔基州有最低的无烟家庭比例（分别为25.7％和53.4％）。
The study is in this week's issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which is published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
该研究是在《发病率和死亡率周刊》本周周刊中报道，该周刊由美国CDC公开发表。
"In the past decade, we've seen tremendous declines in secondhand smoke exposure in the workplace and public places. However, millions of children and nonsmoking adults remain at risk, because their homes are not smoke-free," CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding said in a prepared statement. "The single best step that smokers can take to protect the health of nonsmoking family members and their own health is to quit smoking."
“在过去的十年中，我们已经发现被动吸烟暴露在工作场合和公共场合中巨大下降。然而成百万的儿童和不吸烟的成人仍然在危险中，因为他们的家庭没有禁烟。”CDC的主任Gerberding博士在一份准备好的声明中说，“吸烟者最大的、单独的、能保护不吸烟家庭成员和他们自己的健康的一步是戒烟。”
