Secondhand Smoke Monitoring
This online resource for secondhand smoke monitoring was developed by the Institute for Global Tobacco Control at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in partnership with Roswell Park Cancer Institute and the University of Southern California, Institute for Global Health.

The purpose of the Secondhand Smoking Monitoring website is to expand capacity for conducting SHS monitoring in support of smoke-free policies and initiatives around the world through web-based trainings and protocols; an interactive database to share results and findings globally; and connecting partners and other institutions providing SHS monitoring support.
