Worldwide Concern Over Secondhand Smoke Exposure
This study is among the first to demonstrate that secondhand smoke is a worldwide concern, according to Kenneth Rosenman, M.D., professor of medicine at Michigan State University.
Educational programs have helped to achieve the large proportions of U.S. households that do not allow indoor smoking and the results of this study, according to Rosenman, should lead health organizations in other countries to step up education activities aimed at increasing voluntary no-smoking policies.
It is clear from this study that if one is going to continue to smoke, then dont smoke at home and particularly not around your children, Rosenman said. If my patient is not the smoker, it is important that they insist those that do smoke dont do so in the house or around them. He was not associated with the study.
Our research clearly shows that parents are failing to protect their children from secondhand smoke exposure, perhaps because they are unaware of the risks, Wipfli said. The results highlight the need to improve public awareness of the importance to go outside to smoke to limit the exposure of women and children living in the home.
