Abstract
⺠This population-based cohort study is the largest study ever conducted in the southern hemisphere with 266,848 participants. ⺠We show for the first time that smoking behaviour is associated with fewer social interactions in the Australian population. ⺠Passive smoke exposure is significantly related to social interaction outcomes among smokers. ⺠Ex-smokers who had quit many years ago reported higher levels of social interaction than recent quitters.
