After the enactment of a smoking ban on treatment facilities in Philadelphia, university researchers partnered with a local syringe exchange to examine the impact of the ban on people with substance use disorders who were cigarette smokers.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Utilizing a critical participatory action research approach, researchers used a convenience sample to access this hard-to-reach population through the syringe exchange and the organization's Facebook page.
