“…32 Passive smoking Three different studies found that exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) for 5-60 min leads to increased arterial stiffness (Table 3). 34,55,56 However, in one study, this change was noted only in male subjects. 56 No change was observed after exposure to nontobacco smoke in any of the studies.…”

The effect of smoking on arterial stiffness

A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library to determine the effect of acute, chronic and passive smoking on arterial stiffness and to determine whether these effects are reversible after smoking cessation. A total of 39 relevant studies were identified and included. Acute smoking was found to cause an acute increase in arterial stiffness. Similarly, passive smoking increased arterial stiffness acutely and chronically. The majority of studies identified chronic smoking as a risk factor for increasing arterial stiffness. However, some studies found no statistical difference in arterial stiffness between nonsmokers and long-term smokers, although chronic smoking seems to sensitize the arterial response to acute smoking. In addition, whether arterial stiffness is reversed after smoking cessation and the timeline in which this may occur could not be determined from the identified literature. The effect of smoking discontinuation on arterial stiffness remains to be established by prospective smoking cessation trials.

“…Table 3 summarizes the main endothelial alterations due to passive smoke exposure. Evidence indicates that chronic exposure to passive smoking causes an increase in arterial stiffness as an effect of repeated and prolonged endothelial dysfunction [43][44] as experimentally documented in the aorta of men.…”
