We are an international network of researchers working to reduce exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke in the home.

SHINE is an international network of researchers working to reduce exposure to second-hand smoke in the home.

The University of Stirling is  leading a new network of researchers – the Smoke-free Homes International Network (SHINE).  Our overarching aim is to successfully lobby the WHO Conference of the Parties to include setting smoke-free home targets in  the guidelines for implementation of Article 8 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. 

The current guidelines stop short of protection in homes, stating that “all people should be protected from exposure to tobacco smoke. All indoor workplaces and indoor public places should be smoke-free.” 

If we continue at the current rate of policy adoption, it will be another 50 years before the rest of the world is protected from second-hand smoke. Acceleration of progress is critical.” (WHO Report: Protecting people from tobacco smoke) 

The SHINE network is led by Dr Rachel O’Donnell at the University of Stirling, Scotland.
