Developing asthma in childhood from exposure to Secondhand tobacco Smoke: insights from a meta-regression. Cien Saude Colet. 2008 Aug;13(4):1313-1325 Authors: Vork K, Broadwin R, Blaisdell R Studies have shown links between household Secondhand tobacco Smoke (SHS) exposure and induction of childhood asthma. But the true nature of this link remains unclear in many studies. We conducted a meta-analysis of studies published from 1970 to 2005 to uncover consistent patterns of relative risk estimates (RRs), and found substantial heterogeneity within initial summary RRs of 1.48 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.32-1.65], 1.25 (1.21-1.30), and 1.21 (1.08-1.36), for ever, current, and incident asthma, respectively. Lack of control for type of atopy history (familial or child) and child's own smoking status within studies and age category altered summary RRs in separate metaregressions. After adjustments, consistent patterns of association emerged between SHS exposure and childhood asthma induction. Our summary RR of 1.33 (95% CI, 1.14-1.56) from studies of incident asthma among older children (618 years old) is 1.27 times the estimate from studies of younger children and higher than estimates from earlier meta-analyses. This showns that exposure duration may be a more important factor than previously understood, and suggests that SHS could be a more fundamental cause of childhood asthma than some previous meta-analyses have indicated.Diversos ...

Secondhand Smoke significantly increased the risk of women developing peripheral artery disease (PAD) in a Chinese study, researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. In a population-based study of 1,209 women in Beijing, China, researchers found a 67 percent increased risk of PAD in those exposed to Secondhand Smoke compared to those who were not exposed. The women were 60 years and older and had never smoked. Of these women, 39.5 percent were exposed to Secondhand Smoke at home or in the workplace. read more ...

30 minutes or less. That’s how long it takes for Secondhand Smoke to damage blood vessels and increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. Even brief exposure disrupts normal expansion and contraction of blood vessels—and it clobbers EPCs, cells that help repair the arterial lining. The effect appears to last at least 24 hours, so skip the hazy happy hour if you’ve got a major morning-after workout planned. Source: Stanton A.
