2008, Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :Since the 1980s, evidence has accumulated on the adverse health effects of secondhand smoke (SHS), also called passive smoking, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and involuntary smoking. The adverse respiratory effects of SHS include lung cancer,1 chronic respiratory symptoms,2–4 lung function impairment,5–7 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease8 and asthma.9 However, there is little data on potential effects of SHS exposure on diseases of the lung parenchyma.
Adolescent Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure Predicts Academic Achievement Test Failure
2007, Journal of Adolescent HealthCitation Excerpt :To guide future research, we speculate that part of the influence of ETS may relate to health-related consequences of exposure. Research has established that ETS exposure increases incidence and severity of a variety of acute and chronic illness in children [33–36] as well as adolescents and adults [9–11,37]. Increased frequency and severity of illnesses would contribute to school absences and missed academic opportunities.
Cross-Sectional and Prospective Associations Between Passive Smoking and Respiratory Symptoms at the Workplace
2007, Annals of EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :However, because respiratory symptoms are relatively common, acute, and highly reversible (23), it will be difficult to compare the incidence of respiratory symptoms according to baseline exposure status unless the study period is short and subjects have never experienced respiratory symptoms that may or may not be caused by previous SHS exposure. Of the three prospective studies reported to date on this topic, Jaakkola et al. (22) compared the cumulative incidence of chronic respiratory symptoms among 117 never-smoking young adults aged 15 to 40 years by using an exposure index based on retrospective reporting at follow-up of the annual home and workplace SHS exposure during the 8-year study period. A significant OR of 2.37 (95% CI, 1.25–4.51) per 10 cigarettes per day for dyspnea was reported, but ORs otherwise were either nonsignificant for wheezing (OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.64–2.06), cough (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 0.61–3.90), and any symptom (OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 0.88–2.49) or less than 1 for phlegm (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.21–2.26) (22).
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in a general population
2007, Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in utero and childhood has been associated with childhood respiratory disease and a decrease in lung function in exposed children.1–3 In never-smoking adults, ETS exposure has been shown to increase the prevalence of asthma and respiratory symptoms,4–6 the risk for lung cancer7,8 and the risk for cardiovascular disease.9 In utero and childhood ETS exposure has also been shown to increase the adult incidence of asthma and respiratory symptoms.10
