TCSG Study: What smoking policies do assisted living facilities currently have?
88% did not permit smoking in NON-RESIDENTIAL areas, and the remaining 12% only permitted smoking in designated areas of which 97% were separate rooms largely with separate ventilation systems.
97% had some restrictions on smoking in RESIDENTIAL areas -- of these, 94% did not permit smoking in any areas of private living quarters; thus, about 92% of all the ALFs surveyed did not permit any smoking in private living areas.
