Asking the Right Questions About Secondhand Smoke

Abstract: Introduction Despite knowledge about major health effects of secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure, systematic incorporation of SHS screening and counseling in clinical settings has not occurred. Methods A three-round modified Delphi Panel of tobacco control experts was convened to build consensus on the screening questions that should be asked and identify opportunities and barriers to SHS exposure screening and counseling… Show more

“…for SHS exposure surveillance. 12 Improved coordination between tobacco control leaders and public health leaders leading emergency responses and surveillance is needed to improve screening protocols and ask appropriate questions about COVID-19 and SHS exposure in future research and surveillance; unless we ask these questions, we will continue to miss opportunities to advance our understanding of the impact of smoke or vaping exposure on COVID-19, or other disease outcomes.…”

“…They also increase the likelihood that SHS contributes to cases of COPD that are not directly caused by smoking, particularly novel forms of COPD with preserved lung function. Hopefully, a better understanding of the long-term impact of SHS exposure will encourage medical providers to ask important questions about the extent of their patients' exposure to SHS (69), scientists to explore mechanisms of disease and to test therapies that are sorely needed, and legislative bodies to continue to enact public measures to protect all non-smokers from involuntary exposure to SHS.…”

“…Thus, this study has been planned to study SHS as an independent risk factor for COVID-19 infection, severity, mortality, and other comorbidities. With this background, we conducted a case-control study to determine the association of COVID-19 severity with SHS exposure SHS and to evaluate the relationship between the clinicalsocial profile of COVID-19 patients and exposure to SHS (19).…”
