BackgroundTobacco consumption is a leading preventable cause of disease and premature deaths. In India bidis are the most common form of smoking tobacco product. Bidi manufacturing is an agro-forest based cottage industry and is generally rolled at home. These workers are exposed to nicotine, tar and other particles through skin leading to occupational health risks in not only themselves but also in their families and communities. There are concerns on environmental risks of bidi manufacturing in home too. AimTo assess the environmental risks and occupational health hazards of bidi workers and their communities in India. MethodWe will conduct a scoping review to identify, map and analyse evidence around environmental risks and occupational health hazards in bidi workers and their families and communities. We will search in seven electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE+EMBASE Classic, CINAHL, Environment complete-EBSCO, GreenFILE-EBSCO, Web of Science and WHO-IRIS). Screening will be done independently by at least two reviewers, with disagreements resolve by consensus. We will extract data for the included studies using a standardised data extraction in an independent fashion, with disagreements resolved by consensus. We will conduct a narrative synthesis.
