Prevalence ratios in all models were adjusted for all sociodemographic variables, whether the respondent was living with smokers, and survey year. Those with ‘don’t know’ or refusing to answer were excluded from the regression models. All percentages were weighted by the age and sex distribution within each smoking status of the Hong Kong population (2015–2016).
