“…This may be associated with many interrelated factors, including SHS exposure itself 3, 26, 27 , parental modeling 28, 29 , or physical sensitivities to SHS 30 . However, recent studies suggest that SHS in childhood is an independent factor in susceptibility to smoking initiation 31 ; that home smoking bans may delay or prevent smoking initiation among children of smokers 32 ; and, conversely, that SHS exposure may be a mediating factor making adolescent quitting less likely within the context of a smoking family 25 . Thus, childhood SHS exposure may also have indirect impacts on lifetime cardiovascular health by increasing the likelihood that these children will choose to smoke in adolescence and adulthood.…”

Background Although public health programs have led to a substantial decrease in the prevalence of tobacco smoking, the adverse health effects of tobacco smoking is by no means a thing of the past. In the U.S, four out of 10 school aged children and 1 out of 3 adolescents are involuntarily exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke (SHS) with children of minority ethnic backgrounds and those living in low socioeconomic status households being disproportionately affected (68% and 43% respectively). Children are particularly vulnerable with little control over home and social environment and lack the understanding, agency, and ability to avoid SHS exposure on their own volition; they also have physiological or behavioral characteristics that render them especially susceptible to effects of SHS. Side stream smoke (the smoke burned directly off the end of the cigarette), a major component of SHS, contains a higher concentration of some toxins than mainstream smoke (inhaled by the smoker directly), making SHS potentially more dangerous than direct smoking. Compelling animal and human evidence shows that SHS exposure during childhood is detrimental to arterial function and structure resulting in premature atherosclerosis and its cardiovascular consequences. Childhood SHS exposure is also related to impaired cardiac autonomic function and changes in heart rate variability. In addition, childhood SHS exposure is associated with clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. Individualized interventions to reduce childhood exposure to SHS are shown to be at least modestly effective, so are broader based policy initiatives such as community smoking bans and increased taxation. Purpose The purpose of this statement is to summarize the available evidence on the cardiovascular health consequences of childhood SHS exposure which will support ongoing efforts to reduce and eliminate SHS exposure in this vulnerable population. This statement reviews relevant data from epidemiologic studies; laboratory based experiments, and controlled behavioral trials, concerning SHS and cardiovascular disease risk in children. Information regarding the effects of SHS exposure on the cardiovascular system in animal and pediatric studies, including vascular disruption and platelet activation, oxidation and inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, increased vascular stiffness, changes in vascular structure, and autonomic dysfunction are examined. Conclusion The epidemiological, observational and experimental evidence accumulated to date, demonstrates the detrimental long-term cardiovascular consequences of SHS exposure in children. Implications Increased awareness of these adverse effects will facilitate the development of targeted individual, family-centered and community public health interventions to reduce and ideally eliminate SHS exposure in the vulnerable pediatric population. This evidence calls for a robust public health policy that embraces “zero tolerance” to childhood SHS exposure.

“…These results have many possible interpretations. With regard to the influence of gender and age on susceptibility to smoking, many studies [38][39][40][41] have taken them into account, but the results have been mixed, with some finding a statistically significant association and others that did not. These studies' populations have different age distributions and come from different countries with very different cultural backgrounds, thus, it is difficult to draw conclusions about gender and age in general.…”

Electronic cigarette use has increased over the past decade. Its potential role in smoking cessation, in addiction and as a 'gateway' to tobacco smoking is subject to intense research. This cross-sectional study, carried out in 2013, aims to present the habits of students aged 13-15 in Greece with regard to e-cigarettes and investigate potential risk factors and the relationship between e-cigarettes, tobacco smoking and other nicotine products. It is the first such study to be carried out in Greece. The survey was based on the standardized methodology of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey. All potential associations were investigated using multiple logistic regression. In total 2.8% of the 4096 participating students were current e-cigarette users and 12.3% of them were ever users. E-cigarette use was associated with male gender, being older, current use of combustible tobacco products and e-cigarette use in the family. Ever e-cigarette use, being older, female gender and higher pocket money were associated with an increased susceptibility to tobacco smoking. E-cigarette prevalence in Greece in 2013 was similar to that of other, developed countries. The smoking and vaping habits of adolescents must be monitored in order to assess trends over time and whether any policy alterations are necessary.
