“…As discussed, the rate of SHS exposure in PPW was lower than that in pregnant women and may partly be the reason for having a higher rate of good QOL in the PPW. Likewise, SHS exposure, especially from having smokers in the house, was a significant factor affecting QOL, confirming the negative effects of SHS exposure on the nonsmokers’ QOL in general and some health-related specific populations [24–29]. Nevertheless, this study is the first to show that SHS exposure is associated with lower QOL in the special population of pregnant and postpartum women.…”

“…This finding is consistent with previous studies in other countries. [37][38][39][40] The important health issues and the adverse effects caused by direct maternal tobacco smoking and passive SHS exposure will significantly harm not only pregnant women but also their fetuses or newborns. [41][42][43][44][45] However, there was no previous study examined and compared the impacts of pregnant women exposed to FHS, SHS and THS.…”

Background With the increase of the number of smokers, tobacco exposure among pregnant women is becoming more and more common. Though that pregnant women exposed to first-hand smoke and second-hand smoke are susceptible to physiological and psychological health issues has been proved in previous studies, there are no enough studies focus on the impact of third-hand smoke. This study aimed to assess and compare health-related quality of life for pregnant women with exposure to first-hand smoke, second-hand smoke, third-hand smoke and non-exposure to tobacco in mainland China. Methods National-based cross-sectional study is based on a questionnaire survey which collects information including demographics, smoking behaviors and self-evaluation. All questionnaires were delivered and collected from August to September 2019. EuroQol group’s visual analog scale and EuroQoL Five-dimension Questionnaire were used to collect data in mainland China. Results Totally, 15682 pregnant women were included in this study, among which non-exposure to smoke were 7564 (48.2%), exposed to first-hand smoke, second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke were 89 (0.6%), 2349 (15.0%), and 5680 (36.2%) respectively. Pregnant women without tobacco exposure had the highest EuroQol group’s visual analog scale score (mean value=85.4[SD=14.0]), while those with first-hand smoke had the lowest score (mean value=77.4[SD=22.2]). Among all five dimensions of EuroQoL Five-dimension Questionnaire, there were significant differences of EQ-index among groups with different tobacco exposure in usual activity and anxiety or depression dimensions (p<0.001). Conclusions Third-hand smoke exposure had close relationship with low health-related quality of life in pregnant women. Moreover, second-hand smoke exposure significantly led more problems on mental dimension of pregnant women.

“…When comparing the unexposed group with the groups exposed <2h/day and >2h/day, exposure to a longer duration of SHS was significantly associated with lower scores on the EQ-5D index and the EQ-VAS. 7 Meanwhile from the place of SHS exposure, those exposed to SHS in outdoor public places had lower scores on most SF-12 domains for physical and mental. SHS exposure in one's home and workplace was associated with lower scores on role physical, body pain and role emotional.…”

“…Decreased HRQoL is known to be associated with increased risk of death, hospitalization and increased health care costs at the population level. 7 The decreased HRQoL in current active smokers has been widely investigated, but only limited data are available on the effects of people who get SHS exposure on HRQoL. Given this background, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between SHS with HRQoL in the general population worldwide using data obtained from systematic review.…”

Secondhand smoke (SHS) has been well established as one of risk factor for many diseases. Although exposure to SHS has been associated with various medical conditions, the evidence on the effect of it on healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) is still limited. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the association between SHS with HRQoL. Terms and keywords relevant to secondhand smoking behaviors and HRQoL were used in a search of the electronic database. Three electronic databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) and Google Scholar were used. Searches were limited to English language, included papers: a) had clearly defined measures of SHS exposure and b) had clearly defined measures of outcome variables related to HRQoL. A total of 42 studies were initially retrieved and reviewed. After further review of references from the retrieved studies, 8 studies were finally selected that met all eligibility criteria. The reviewed studies consisted of three cross-sectional study analyses, two cohort studies, one longitudinal analysis and one study using bivariable and multivariable analysis. Those findings consisted of varied number of population and conducted from different countries. Exposure to SHS was associated with generally lower HRQoL, suggesting that detrimental effects of SHS exposure on HRQoL are not limited to patients with diseases (chronic disease, COPD, or heart failure) but also in healthy never smoking children and adult, both in man and woman. Our review study showed that SHS exposure towards healthy or people with disease, children, adult, both in man and woman were associated with decreased HRQoL. It can provide new evidence for stronger smoke-free policies on public places and promoting smoke-free homes.
