    Abstract Children are vulnerable to second hand smoke (SHS) exposure because of limited control over their indoor environment, especially at homes. This study determines the magnitude, patterns and determinants of SHS exposure in the home among children in India. Data collected under the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) data, a household survey of adults ≥15 years of age during 2016-2017 conducted in India were analyzed to estimate the proportion of children exposed to SHS in their homes. GATS estimates and national census population projections for 2020 were also used to estimate the number of children exposed to SHS in the homes. Nearly half (46.5%) of the children <15 years of age were exposed to SHS in their homes in India which extrapolates to nearly an estimated 170 million. Children living in rural households, north-east and central regions and households with an adult smoker were more likely to be exposed to SHS. SHS exposure among children in home is high in India which calls for adoption of voluntary smoke-free homes initiative and promoting cessation among smokers.

    Abstract Public health emergencies require real-time, accurate information to guide effective and timely responses. This calls for rapid and timely publication of information to promote both its scientific validity and societal value. On the other hand, rapid publication poses a potential threat to the integrity of the information published. Inaccurate or incomplete information arises due to the difficulty in conducting rigorous studies during an ongoing emergency, and the race for the fame and prestige that come with being first. The balance between the potential risks and benefits of rapid publication can be achieved by adhering to the principles of publication ethics that promote the integrity, accuracy and value of scientific literature (1). We highlight ten potential challenges related to scientific publishing and dissemination of information during this pandemic, and the underlying principles of publication ethics that could guide us.

    Abstract Background: MPOWER is a policy package of six components intended to assist in the country-level implementation of effective tobacco control interventions. One of the six components of MPOWER strategy is to offer help to quit tobacco use. Majority of the smokers want to quit, but quitting is difficult due to the addictiveness of nicotine. They make multiple quitting attempts with little success. There is a need to know what proportion of smokers make a quit attempt, and among those who make an attempt, how many become successful quitters and their sociodemographic correlates.
    Methods: Secondary analysis of data from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS-2) 2016-17, India was done. This nationally representative survey was conducted among persons aged 15 years or older. Weighted estimates were calculated after adjusting for clustering and stratification.
    Results: A total of 35.5% adults who smoked tobacco during the past 12 months have made a quit attempt in the last 12 months. Around 14.2% of ever daily smokers currently do not smoke (which indicate successful quit rate). The study demonstrated strong associations of sociodemographic characteristics such as age group, educational attainment, caste, religion, geographic region, wealth quintiles, and visit to health care provider with the attempt to quit tobacco and successful quitting. The majority of quit attempts were made without any assistance (71.1%).
    Conclusion: The study provides robust national evidence on attempts to quit tobacco, the success rates of those attempts, and their sociodemographic correlates. The study highlights the need to provide more cessation support to young, less educated people in the northern part of India.

    Abstract India enacted a smoke-free law in 2003. It is believed that smoke-free workplaces will lead to more smoking in private places such as homes. The national Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS 2) India 2016-2017 collects information on the self-reported prevalence of SHS exposure in homes and workplaces. The present study utilised the GATS 2 dataset to establish the association between working in a smoke-free workplace and living in a smoke-free home. 70.1% of respondents who worked indoors reported smoke-free workplace; 64.5% of respondents reported that they live in a smoke-free home. Respondents who reported that their workplace was smoke-free were significantly more likely to live in smoke-free homes compared with those who are exposed to SHS at the workplace (69.5% vs 45.5%, AOR = 1.8, 95% CI 1.5-2.1). Males, urban residents, family with fewer members, non-smokers and non-smokeless tobacco users were significantly more likely to live in a smoke-free home. Significant differences were also observed with respect to religion, caste, region and education levels. Our results provide conclusive evidence to support that smoke-free workplaces influence smoke-free homes in India. Thus, it highlights the importance of accelerating the implementation of existing national tobacco control legislation on smoke-free public places.

    Abstract Background and objectives: India is an endemic country for lymphatic filariasis (LF). There are no current estimates of the expenditure being borne by LF patients in case of outpatient care or hospitalisation and its impact on households. This study aimed to estimate the household out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure due to hospitalization or outpatient care as a result of LF in India.
    Methods: Secondary analysis of nationally representative data for India collected by the National Sample Survey Organization in 2014 was performed, reporting on health service utilization and health care related OOP expenditure by income quintiles and by type of health facility (public or private).
    Results: The median household OOP expenditure from hospitalization and outpatient care due to LF was US$ 178 and US$ 04, respectively; and was more than two times higher among the richest group compared to the poorest. There was a significantly higher proportion of households affected by catastrophic costs among the rich (30%) compared to the poor households (18%) due to hospitalization. Median private sector OOP hospitalization expenditure was nearly four times higher than the public sector. Less than one-fourth of outpatient visits (22%) were in the public sector. The median expenditure on medicines and indirect cost were US$ 32 (IQR: 17-84) and US$ 23 (IQR: 9-59), respectively in case of hospitalization due to LF; while in case of outpatient care these were US$ 1.5 (IQR: 0-5.8) and US$ 1.5 (IQR: 0-4), respectively.
    Interpretation & conclusion: Households with LF incur huge cost of patient care, particularly those in the lowest income group and those seeking care in the private sector.

    Abstract Secondhand smoke (SHS) accounts for 0.9 million deaths and 24 million disability adjusted life years (DALYs) annually. Nearly 30% of adults in India are exposed to SHS in India. To reduce SHS exposure, India enacted a smoke-free law in 2003 under which smoking in public places is banned. However, the compliance to this law has been variable in several assessments in the country. A better understanding of the nature and extent of SHS exposure can help inform better implementation of national smoke-free policies. The Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) India 2016-17 collects information on the self-reported prevalence of SHS exposure in homes, workplaces, government buildings, restaurants, public transportation and health care facilities among adults (> 15 years of age).The present study utilized the GATS India 2016-17 dataset to provide estimates of SHS exposure among adults in India in homes, workplace and other public places, across gender and age groups and among the overall population and non-smokers. Weighted analysis was carried out. In the overall population, exposure to SHS in the home was 29.2%, more among young females. In workplaces, exposure to SHS was 29.2% overall, significantly higher among males (32.5%) compared to females (17.8%). In public buildings such as health care facilities and government offices, SHS exposure was less with 15.6% and 21.2% respectively. SHS exposure was high in restaurants with 39.3% overall, significantly higher among males (43.2%) compared to females (22.2%). Similar results were also seen among non-smokers. A large proportion of adults in India, both smokers and non-smokers are exposed to SHS in their homes, workplaces and other public places, especially restaurants, workplaces and public transportation. Females are more exposed to SHS at home, whereas males are more exposed in public places including workplaces. High SHS exposure among youths is also a concern. Stricter enforcement of legislation is required to ensure 100% smoke-free homes, public places and workplaces and reduce SHS exposure.

    Abstract Objectives: Youths are exposed to multiple sources of tobacco advertisements. We sought to examine patterns of exposure to smoked tobacco advertisements through various modes among Indian youths and its association with smoked tobacco use.
    Study design: Cross-sectional survey design.
    Methods: We utilised data from the national Global Adult Tobacco Survey 2016-17 in India, which covered adults >15 years of age. Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was used to examine patterns of exposure to tobacco advertisements through various modes (television, radio, cinema, internet, posters, billboards, public transportation, public walls, stores, newspaper) among youths. Classes were compared across sociodemographic and tobacco use-related characteristics. Various model-fit statistics (Akaike, Bayesian and sample size-adjusted Bayesian Information Criteria, likelihood-ratio tests and, Entropy) and meaningfulness of the classes were used to select the number of latent classes.
    Results: Three distinct latent classes were identified in terms of exposure to smoked tobacco products advertisements: "Multimodal exposure" (n = 448, 4.0%), "low exposure" (n = 9584, 86.0%), and "Television and stores" (n = 1116, 10.0%). There were significant differences between classes emerged on sociodemographics (age, sex, residence, education, wealth quintile, region). The "Multimodal exposure" class was associated with current tobacco smoking (odds ratio [OR]: 2.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.4-3.0, P-value <0.001) and cigarette use (OR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.3-3.4, P-value <0.001) compared to the "low exposure" class.
    Conclusions: Youths could be grouped into three classes based on their exposure to smoked tobacco product advertisements. The "Multimodal exposure" class with a distinct profile was significantly associated with smoked tobacco use among youths. This evidence supports complete ban on all forms of tobacco advertisements.
