Mothers cigar made up more than 90% of the adult respondents in the parentchild pairs. Approximately 29% of the respondents reported living in single-parent households (Table 1).Although all study subjects came from smoking households, overall levels of smoking and ETS exposure reported by fonseca the parents were low, with more than half of the respondents reporting no hours of smoking indoors, and no hours of indoor ETS exposure among their children (Table 2).
