“…Indoors, most studies have focused on particulate matter sources such as ETS [115] or cooking and heating appliances, but few on measured particulate matter concentration. A review of the effect of second-hand smoke concluded that there was evidence of a causal relationship between ETS and asthma severity and development, especially in children [116].…”

Respiratory health and indoor air pollutants based on quantitative exposure assessments

et al. 2012

We reviewed the main epidemiological studies that evaluate the respiratory effects of indoor air pollutants quantitatively in industrialised countries. Consistent results support short-term (aggravation) and, although more rarely, long-term (prevalence augmentation) effects on asthma, chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in indoor settings with poor air quality. Environmental tobacco smoke is one of the most important risks for respiratory symptoms and diseases worldwide. The evidence is also reliable for indoor nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter, which have been associated with asthma, bronchitis and COPD. Whereas formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds seem to be the main pollutants in indoor settings, relevant papers on their respiratory effects are still scarce, and limited to asthma and bronchitis. Moulds have been associated with an increased risk of asthma and COPD. Contradictory results have been found between endotoxins and asthma. The role of phthalates, persistent organic pollutants and flame retardants in respiratory diseases remains to be established. Results from rural areas of industrialised countries indicate that exposure to some indoor bio-contaminants might be protective in early life, while it is associated with adverse respiratory adverse effects in adulthood. Studies focusing on indoor air pollutants should be developed to better understand their involvement in the inception and aggravation of respiratory diseases.

“…Pediatric SHSe has been shown to exacerbate asthma symptoms [1,2], and is associated with increased risk of bronchitis, pneumonia and other respiratory infections [3], sudden infant death syndrome [4,5], middle ear disease [6], atopic dermatitis [7], attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [8], externalizing behavior problems [9] and cognitive development delays [10,11]. Despite declines in US smoking prevalence, 50% of US children are routinely exposed to secondhand smoke [12], and over 30% of US children live in homes where a resident or visitor smokes [13].…”

Barriers and motivators to reducing secondhand smoke exposure in African American families of head start children: a qualitative study

et al. 2016

Objective: To identify barriers and motivators for reducing secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe) for families of African-American, lowincome, urban children. Method: Audiotaped intervention sessions of 52 African-American caregivers of Head Start children who reported being a smoker and/or had at least one smoker in the home were randomly sampled from a larger trial examining the effectiveness of a motivational-interviewing intervention in reducing child's SHSe. Counseling sessions were qualitatively coded to identify barriers and motivators to implementing a home smoking ban or quitting smoking.Results: African-American families identified several themes that were either or both barriers and motivators for SHSe reduction, including: asking others not to smoke, other family living in the home, neighborhood safety, absence of childcare, cost/availability of cessation tools, physician support and prevention of health problems. Discussion: Urban, low-income AfricanAmerican families face numerous barriers to reducing SHSe. Families were able to identify many motivators for reducing SHSe, suggesting an awareness of the importance for SHSe reduction but uncertainty in their confidence to change behaviors. Counseling should include tailoring to be most effective in supporting health behavior change. Greater emphasis on motivators is needed, such as low-cost/free cessation tools, engagement from physicians and greater involvement of extended family members.

“…Whereas the perinatal risks associated with maternal smoking are well documented (Al-Sahab, Saqib, Hauser, & Tamim, 2010), paternal smoking is also associated with several neonatal complications (Leonardi-Bee, Smyth, Britton, & Coleman, 2008). Infants exposed to SHS are at further risks for sudden infant death syndrome (Jones et al, 2011;Treyster & Gitterman, 2011), and emerging evidence also suggests that infants may be affected by the carcinogens produced by ''thirdhand smoke'' (THS; Petrick, Svidovsky, & Dubowski, 2011;Rehan, Sakurai, & Torday, 2011;Sleiman et al, 2010). THS is the tobacco smoke contaminants found on surfaces such as skin, hair, clothes, and household upholstery and in house dust (Matt et al, 2011;Winickoff et al, 2009).…”
