The questions posed in the questionnaire permitted distinguishing between the different levels of SHS. However, the moderate relationship found (Spearman׳s correlation=0.387, p<0.001) suggests that intensity of exposure to SHS in hospitality venues, based solely on self-reported information, should be used with caution.engSMURhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Self ReportAdultFemaleHumansMaleNicotineRestaurantsSpainTobacco Smoke PollutionValidity of self-reported exposure to second-hand smoke in hospitality venuesAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional249060611331-310.1016/j.envres.2014.04.0291096-0953Environmental researchopen access
