What is the association between secondhand smoke (SHS) and possible obstructive sleep apnea: a meta-analysis

Published in Environmental Health

1. This is a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in both adults and children. 2. Our meta-analysis revealed a significantly positive association between SHS exposure and possible OSA in children and adults. 3. Both smoking in mothers and fathers are associated with sig...

Residential secondhand smoke in a densely populated urban setting: a qualitative exploration of psychosocial impacts, vi...

Published in BMC Public Health

Background People remain exposed to secondhand smoke, a serious health hazard, inside their home as households face challenges in setting no-smoking rules or are exposed to secondhand smoke drifting in from neighbouring homes. This study explores the psychosocial impacts, views, and experiences with residential secondhand smoke in a densely populat...

Passive exposure to e-cigarette emissions is associated with worsened mental health

Published in BMC Public Health

Background Cigarette smoking, secondhand cigarette smoke (SHS) exposure, and e-cigarette use (“vaping”) are each associated with increased rates of depressive symptoms and other internalizing mental health disorders.

Housing type and secondhand tobacco smoke exposure among non-smoking New York City adults, 2004 and 2013–14

Published in Preventive Medicine Reports

Secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure has declined due to smoking reductions, expanding workplace and public smoke-free air laws, and smoke-free housing policy promotion. Population-based studies examining objective SHS exposure biomarkers have documented reductions over time, however non-smoking urban adults are more likely to have elevated coti...

Secondhand smoke exposure in school children in Malta assessed through urinary biomarkers.

Published in Environmental research

School children may be exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) either at home, in transit or in social gatherings permitting smoking in their presence. Questionnaires about SHS often underestimate prevalence and extent of exposure. A more accurate tool is the use of biomarkers such as cotinine (COT) and trans-3'-hydrocycotinine (3HC) as biomarkers of SHS...
