Abstract
The health effects of passive smoking (environmental tobacco smoke—ETS) are now accepted in the perceptions of both the public and the experts. ETS is considered a public health issue and a legal, legislative issue. Although there are scientific issues still to be solved, public perception and action are foremost in preventive approaches to the problem. Public policy has focused on legislative control. Further strategies will be needed, since public health history has shown that personal practices, including active smoking, are the most difficult to modify or control. The nature of the problem, and its context should be explored to reach the goals of appropriate control and public health action.
