Young Teens Exposed to Secondhand Smoke in a Car

Measurement Period: 2019
This indicator shows the percent of public school students in grades 6-8 who were exposed to secondhand smoke while in a car or other vehicle in the past 7 days.

Why is this important?

There is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke causes heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer in non-smoking adults and severe asthma attacks, respiratory infections, ear infections, and sudden infant death syndrome in infants or children. In 2013-2014, an estimated 38% of U.S. children aged 3 to 11 years were exposed to secondhand smoke. As smoke-free laws for public places have become widespread, homes and cars have become a significant source of exposure. As of 2018, smoking and vaping are prohibited in vehicles whenever a minor is present in all four major counties in Hawai'i.
