In Canada, the home has become the primary locale in which children are exposed to tobacco smoke. Single parents are less likely than two-parent families to ban smoking at home, but the extent to which this relates to economic inequalities across family structures is unclear. Our objective was to estimate the association between household structure (single- vs. non-single-parent family) and smoke-free home rules, accounting for indicators of economic disadvantage.
