本研究探讨了明尼苏达州租房者和公寓业主或管理人员对多户建筑物中单位之间环境烟草烟雾（ETS）转移和无烟住房的看法。在明尼苏达州管理27,116个出租单位的49名决策者的便利样本中，他们知道他们的建筑物中有一些ETS转移，但大多数人认为这很少或从来不是租户决定租房或搬家的重要因素。大多数从未指定建筑物无烟的人很少或没有兴趣这样做，因为担心这会增加空置率，构成歧视，或产生执法成本。然而，已经指定无烟建筑的业主看到了对空置率、营业额和管理建筑所需时间的大多数中性或积极影响，并计划继续提供无烟建筑。在405个随机抽样的家庭中，共有48%的家庭报告说，有时ETS从其他地方进入他们的公寓; 10%的人说这种情况经常发生或大部分时间。在那些经历过ETS转学的人中，37%的人说这让他们很烦恼，或者说他们正在考虑搬家。目前，只有一小部分租房者住在无烟建筑中，但近一半的人对此非常感兴趣。兴趣是高的种族，收入水平，租金水平，年龄组，无论家庭是否有孩子。54%的受访者很有可能选择无烟建筑，所有其他条件都相同，34%的人愿意支付更多的费用来居住。
This study explored the views of Minnesota renters and apartment owners or managers about environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) transfer between units in multifamily buildings and about smoke-free housing. A convenience sample of 49 decision makers who manage 27,116 rental units in Minnesota were aware of some ETS transfer in their buildings, but most felt it was rarely or never a significant factor in tenants' decisions to rent or to move. Most of those who had never designated a building smoke free had little or no interest in doing so, due to concerns that it would increase vacancy rates, constitute discrimination, or engender costs for enforcement. Owners who had already designated smoke-free buildings, however, had seen mostly neutral or positive effects on vacancies, turnover, and time required to manage the buildings, and planned to continue offering them. A total of 48% of households in a random sample of 405 reported that at times ETS enters their apartment from elsewhere; 10% said this occurs often or most of the time. Of those experiencing ETS transfer, 37% said it bothered them a lot or so much that they were thinking of moving. Only a small fraction of renters currently live in smoke-free buildings, but nearly half would be extremely or very interested in doing so. Interest is high across ethnicities, income levels, rent levels, and age groups and regardless of whether the household has children. 54% of respondents would be very likely to choose a smoke-free building, all other things being equal, and 34% would be willing to pay more to live in one.
