Adda & Cornaglia are currently working on a paper on passive smoking on non-smokers (older versions available online) which note that ban on smoking in recreational areas lead to a significant increase in exposure to children under twelve in homes with a smoker present.

Therefore, taking this into account, it would seem that one can no longer assert that the safest place to let people smoke is home.
