Is Passive Smoking Exposure in Early Life a Risk Factor for Future Cardiovascular Disease?

Abstract: Thanks to the foresight of researchers in the 1970s and 1980s in establishing large cohorts of children to investigate the origins of cardiovascular disease (CVD), we now have the ability to understand the impact childhood smoking exposure, among other pediatric exposures, has on later-life cardiovascular (CV) health. The age of the participants in these large prospective cohorts is still prohibitive in that researchers can only consider pre-clinical markers of CV pathology. Despite this, cohorts from multiple… Show more

“…Several constrains, such as shortages in workforce and inadequate training on counselling issues, may limit their time and eagerness to engage and counsel their patients on avoiding SHS exposure, turning primary health care field into a lost opportunity for tobacco use and SHS exposure prevention 11,12 . Until now no inexpensive method for assessment of last week's exposure to SHS have been developed 13,14 . Having the ability to properly validate a questionnaire in order to quantify exposure to SHS has not yet been achieved in a number of studies 15 , and is bound to aid patients' monitoring and implementing targeted interventions.…”
