“…Since life satisfaction is robustly associated with mental health problems [10], our finding is in agreement with prior studies that have examined the impact of SHS on mental health [7–9]. One possible biological explanation for this finding could be that SHS exposure is linked with low-grade inflammation which is strongly associated with mental health problems, particularly mood disorders like depression [15].…”

“…However, recent studies, primarily from Asian countries, point to a potentially significant association between occupational SHS exposure and depression or stress [6–9]. While life satisfaction is a concept distinct from mental health or wellbeing, it has been causally linked to major depression, anxiety disorder, and suicidality [10], as well as with mortality [11, 12]; therefore it may serve as an indicator of the impact that exposure to SHS may have on individuals.…”

BackgroundDespite existing legislation, a large proportion of the European Union (EU) population is exposed to occupational secondhand smoke (SHS). The aim of this study was to explore associations between occupational exposure to SHS and self-reported life satisfaction.MethodsWe analysed data collected through the Eurobarometer survey (wave 82.4) from n = 11,788 individuals working in indoor spaces. The sample was representative of the population of the 28 EU member states. We fitted a multilevel logistic regression model adjusting for smoking, age, gender, occupation, area of residence, education, difficulty paying bills, marital status and social class.Results27.5% of those working indoors reported at least some occupational exposure to SHS. People exposed to occupational SHS were less likely to report that they were satisfied with the life they lead (adjusted Odds Ratio = 0.72, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.60-0.87). The effect of occupational exposure on life satisfaction did not differ by smoking status, with all interaction terms between smoking status and occupational exposure to SHS not statistically significant.ConclusionExposure to SHS at the workplace does not only have negative consequences on physical health, but it can also impact life satisfaction of smokers and non-smokers. Our findings highlight the need for stricter enforcement of smokefree environments at the workplace in the EU.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12971-017-0127-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Association between SHS exposure and depressive symptoms has been reported previously, but the findings are inconsistent [ 18 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. The latest study of Chinese middle-aged women found that SHS exposure in homes was positively associated with depressive symptoms, but no association was observed for SHS exposure in indoor public places [ 32 ]. On the contrary, the study of Japanese workers indicated that SHS exposure at work was related with higher rates of depressive symptoms, but no relation was found for SHS exposure at home [ 18 ].…”

“…On the contrary, the study of Japanese workers indicated that SHS exposure at work was related with higher rates of depressive symptoms, but no relation was found for SHS exposure at home [ 18 ]. Additionally, the latest study on Chinese middle-aged women revealed a significant dose–response relationship between SHS exposure in homes and depressive symptoms [ 32 ], but the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey on men observed no dose–response association for home or workplace SHS exposure [ 34 ]. To date, only two studies have explored this relation in a population of adolescents, indicating that there was a significant relation between SHS exposure and depression or depressive symptoms [ 20 , 21 ].…”

There has been little focus on the possible association between second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure and depressive symptoms among adolescents. Thus, this study aimed to explore the dose–response relationships between SHS exposure and depressive symptoms among adolescents and differentiate these associations in setting-specific exposure and severity-specific outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a stratified cluster sampling method to obtain a representative sample of high school students in Guangzhou, China. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the potential associations between SHS exposure and depressive symptoms. Among 3575 nonsmoking students, 29.6% were classified as having probable depressive symptoms and 9.6% had severe depressive symptoms. There were monotonically increasing dose–response relationships between setting-specific (public places, homes, or indoor/outdoor campuses) SHS exposure and severity-specific (probable or severe) depressive symptoms. When examining these relations by source of exposure, we also observed similar dose–response relationships for SHS exposure in campuses from smoking teachers and from smoking classmates. Our findings suggest that regular SHS exposure is associated with a significant, dose-dependent increase in risk of depressive symptoms among adolescents, and highlight the need for smoke-free environments to protect the health of adolescents.

“…In 2014, Luger et al assessed the relationship between smoking and depressive symptoms in adults using meta-analytic techniques and showed that, compared with having never smoked, former and current smoking was significantly associated with a 21% and 50% increased prevalence of depressive symptoms, respectively, using data from 78 cross-sectional studies and that smoking was significantly related to a 1.6-fold increased risk of depressive symptoms based on seven prospective studies [2]. Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure has been found to be positively associated with depressive symptoms in several studies [3–14], while such a positive association was not observed in non-smoking adults in the Netherlands [15]. …”

BackgroundEpidemiological evidence on the relationship between smoking and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure and depressive symptoms during pregnancy has been limited. The present cross-sectional study examined this issue in Japan.MethodsBetween April 2007 and March 2008, 1757 pregnant women who lived in one of seven prefectures on Kyushu Island in southern Japan or in Okinawa Prefecture, an island chain in the southwest of Japan, participated in the Kyushu Okinawa Maternal and Child Health Study, a prebirth cohort study. In the present study, data on 1745 pregnant women were available for analysis. Information on smoking, SHS exposure, depressive symptoms, and potential confounding factors was obtained through a self-administered questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were defined as present when subjects had a Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale score of 16 or higher. Adjustment was made for age, gestation, region of residence, number of children, family structure, household income, education, job type, history of depression, and family history of depression.ResultsThe prevalence of depressive symptoms during pregnancy was 19.2%. Compared with having never smoked, both former and current smoking was independently associated with a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms during pregnancy: the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were 1.39 (95% CI: 1.06–1.83) and 2.49 (95% CI: 1.36–4.45), respectively. Also, 3.0 to 7.9 and 8.0 or more pack-years of smoking were independently positively related to depressive symptoms during pregnancy: the adjusted ORs were 1.55 (95% CI: 1.08–2.22) and 1.97 (95% CI: 1.26–3.03), respectively (P for trend = 0.0005). Among the 1183 subjects who had never smoked, current SHS exposure at home was independently positively associated with depressive symptoms during pregnancy: the adjusted OR was 1.51 (95% CI: 1.003–2.30).ConclusionsFormer and current smoking, 3.0 or more pack-years of smoking, and current SHS exposure at home may be positively associated with depressive symptoms during pregnancy.
