Thanks to all who attended the Smoke-free Homes Workshop in Kuala Lumpur in May. A lot of learning went on, and I think we all came away excited about the future of this research area.

We're delighted to report that the "Kuala Lumpur Charter on Smoke-free Homes" has been published as a blog post by Tobacco Control. The Charter highlights the need for continued research on smoke-free homes and numerous research 
gaps which need to be filled in the future.
