1. Introduction
Smoke-free legislation (42/2010)
Modified the previous law (Law 28/2005):
Banning smoking:
• All public places,
including hospitality places
• some outdoors areas, including hospital
premises, educational campuses, and
playgrounds

1. Introduction
Relocation of smokers to outdoor settings

Indicators of the presence of tobacco smoking: number of smokers, presence of
ashtrays, presence of cigarette butts and tobacco smell, presence of tobacco vending
machines, hours of sales in places where you can get tobacco.

Measurements and variables: Tobacco Airborne Markers
3. Methods

Airborne nicotine:
We will use nicotine sampler’s devices connected
through a tub to a pump (flow 3.02 ml/min) to take
the measures. Nicotine samplers will contain a filter
that is 37 mm in diameter and treated with sodium
bisulphate
3. Methods

Individual data: cohort HHH
2500 men and women aged 40 - 75 years.
Residents in the study area and asigned to
one of the Primary Health Care Centres
selected for the study.
All the participants live and/or work in the
area of their health care centre and have
been living in the same area for at least 3
years.
3. Methods

- DCOT (determinants of cotinine
questionnaire)
- Administered by telephone
- Tobacco consumption
- SHS exposure
Measurements and variables: Questionnaire
3. Methods

Self-reported SHS exposure
- At home
- Work/education venues
- Leisure time and transportation
(public and private)
- General exposure

-etc
3. Methods

Sociodemographic characteristics:
- sex
- age
- country of origen
- address (residence and work)
- educational level
- ocupation
- employement situation
- Etc.
3. Methods
Measurements and variables: Questionnaire

Biomarker (cotinine)
Half-life: 15-17h
9 ml of saliva
Cotinine analysis with liquid
chromatography coupled with tandem
mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) with
multiple reaction monitoring. (limit of
quantification: 0.1 ng/mL and limit of
detection: 0.03 ng/mL)
Measurements and variables: Saliva collection and cotinine analysis
3. Methods

GIS now represent an excellent methodology for advanced geospatial analysis and
for mapping.
GIS will be present transversely throughout all the project.
Geospatial data integration and analysis using Geographic Information
Systems (GIS)
3. Methods

Statistical Analysis
We will assign densities to the corresponding census tract or neighborhood to
produce descriptive maps of tobacco outlets and socioeconomic level of each area
To study the association between the SES and the presence and density of tobacco
outlets spatial Poisson regression with the number of establishments as dependent
variable and the characteristics of the neighborhood as independent variable will be
performed.
To study the association between the SES level of a district/ tobacco products
availability/smoking visibility and self-reported tobacco consumption and SHS
exposure a multilevel logistic regression model will be used
3. Methods

Limitation:
• Information bias derived from the questionnaires
• Difficult to include a representative sample of the different types of outdoor
locations sufficient variety of places and also sufficient number of each type
of place
• Use of space (leisure and tourism)
• Difficulty to get all data of tobacco point of sales (NOT OPEN DATA) and ilegal
point of sales
Strengths:
• This is the first study that evaluates the relationship between tobacco
environment (physical and social) in the place of residence and work using
objective measurements with tobacco airborne markers, social systematic
observation and the use of Geographic Information Systems.
• Having already recruited a cohort in which characterize tobacco consumption
and SHS exposure
4. Discussion

Public Health Implications
•Innovative approach in the field of tobacco epidemiology research, as it focuses on
population strategy from the point of view of the availability of tobacco and visibility
of tobacco consumption and SHS exposure in the urban environment
•Understanding the process of denormalization of tobacco after the implementation
of smoke-free laws social gradient in its implementation?
•Assess whether there is a relationship between the availability of tobacco products in
the environment to smoking behavior future policies for tobacco control
4. Discussion

Public Health Implications
To provide scientific evidence for researchers and policy makers to
intervene at the population level to prevent tobacco consumption and SHS
exposure
