How to obtain the most accurate measurements - be flexible and sharpen your pencils

Visit venues and record observations

Be sure to write down the following observations

Times of entry, counts and exit.
Count # people every 15 minutes.
Count # burning cigarettes every 15 minutes.
Take notes on who, what, where, and when.
Include a few descriptive sentences on each place.

Important things to do

Buy something in each place you visit (be a patron).

Spend at least 5 minutes outside before and after visiting each venue. This provides adequate baseline measurements.
