Which people are most at risk for outdoor smoke exposure?
Anyone who spends a significant amount of time close to one or more outdoor smokers could be at risk for sizable exposure. For example, servers at outdoor restaurants and pubs where smoking is allowed could be exposed repeatedly to high air pollution levels as they approach tables containing active smokers. Also, children who accompany smoking parents or guardians could also receive substantial amounts of exposure during the course of a day.
