Abstract
The effect of assertively asking a smoker to refrain from smoking was investigated to determine if individuals could reduce their exposure to passive smoke with a simple request. The results showed that an assertive request was complied with in a significant number of interactions. The location where the request was made had a significant effect on whether the smoker complied or not to the request.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
