TWKPUBLIC reports the smoking policy in public areas, such as lobbies, rest rooms, and lunch rooms, for the employer of the survey respondent. This variable provides information about whether the employer has a policy and how strong the policy is.

In 1992 and 1993, some unidentified respondents also answered this question. These individuals were expected to not be in the universe; however, they were included in the original data.

This variable is part of the Tobacco Use Supplement.
