Respiratory Effects of Passive Smoking: Discovering the effects of environmental cigarette smoke
Can Fam Physician.
1991 Apr.
Abstract
The acute and chronic respiratory effects of environmental cigarette smoke (other than lung cancer) are reviewed. Effects observed are not easily explained. There is strong evidence for an increased incidence of chronic respiratory disease in children of smokers and mounting evidence that occupational and domestic exposure increases the risk of chronic obstructive lung disease in adults.
