“…It has been shown that non-smokers reporting substantial SHS exposure are nearly 50% more likely to experience psychological distress [ 20 ]. The relationship between SHS exposure and increased rates of internalizing problems such as depression, anxiety, and panic attacks has been found in the US [ 21 , 22 ], Korea [ 23 – 28 ], Canada [ 29 ], Germany [ 30 ], Japan [ 31 , 32 ], and China [ 33 , 34 ], with some demonstrating dose-response relationships [ 34 ]. A growing literature suggests that vaping e-cigarettes is independently associated with increased rates of depressive symptoms specifically [ 35 – 39 ], and internalizing disorders broadly [ 40 – 45 ].…”

Background Cigarette smoking, secondhand cigarette smoke (SHS) exposure, and e-cigarette use (“vaping”) are each associated with increased rates of depressive symptoms and other internalizing mental health disorders. The prevalence of vaping has increased greatly, yet the mental health correlates of secondhand exposure to e-cigarette emissions are as yet to be investigated. This study examined the potential adverse mental health outcomes associated with different tobacco exposures (direct and passive), with a particular focus on the mental health correlates of secondhand exposure to e-cigarette emissions. Methods The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study data collected from a sample of 16,173 Wave 4 adults were used to test the hypothesis that secondhand e-cigarette emissions exposure is associated with increased odds of internalizing mental health disorders. Individuals were categorized as exclusive cigarette smokers, exclusive e-cigarette users, cigarette and e-cigarette dual users, exclusive noncombustible tobacco users, secondhand smoke exposed non-users, secondhand e-cigarette emissions exposed non-users, and non-users with no current SHS/secondhand e-cigarette aerosol exposure. Adjusted weighted logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between exposure type and internalizing problems as assessed by scores on the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs-Short Screener (GAIN-SS), a widely used instrument for assessing mental health problems. Results Cigarette smokers (AOR = 2.53, 95% CI: 2.19–2.92), e-cigarette users (AOR = 3.14, 2.41–4.09), dual users (AOR = 3.37, 2.85–4.00), noncombustible tobacco users (AOR = 1.48, 1.01–2.17), SHS exposed non-users (AOR = 1.63, 1.37–1.94), and secondhand e-cigarette emissions exposed non-users (AOR = 1.43, 1.03–1.99) were each associated with increased odds of moderate to severe internalizing mental health problems as compared to unexposed non-users. Odds of internalizing problems among SHS and secondhand e-cigarette emissions exposed non-users did not differ (p = 0.46). Conclusions This is the first study, to our knowledge, to identify an association between recent secondhand exposure to e-cigarette emissions and mental health problems, and the risk is comparable to that of SHS. Corroboration of this relationship needs further research to explicate directionality and mechanisms underlying this association.

“…Home is a place where family members in a range of activities, and is a common location for exposure to SHS [4][5][6] . Most studies to date show that exposure to SHS is linked to depression, including SHS exposure occurring in the home [7][8][9][10][11] . Just one study found no such connection 12 .…”

Background: The prevalence of tobacco consumption in Thailand has gradually declined; however, the prevalence of exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) is still high. The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of SHS exposure and examine the association between exposure to SHS and depressive symptoms among schoolchildren, and test for moderation by the number of smokers in household. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1105 schoolchildren. Socioeconomics factors, depressive symptoms and exposure to SHS variables were collected. We used the chi-square test for testing the factors associated to SHS exposure. In addition, we used the Mantel Haenszel test for testing interaction effect of depression to SHS exposure by the number of smokers in home. Multiple logistic regression was used to test the factors related to SHS exposure adjusted for confounders. Results: The prevalence of exposure to SHS was 58.2% (95%CI: 55.2, 61.1). The schoolchildren with abnormal depression status were 1.8 times more likely to have been exposed to SHS (95%CI: 1.3, 2.5). In addition, the number of smokers in the home did not modify the association between exposure to SHS and depressive symptoms (P: 0.964). Conclusions: An association between exposure to SHS and depressive in schoolchildren was observed, but this relationship was not affected by the number of smokers in children’s homes.

“…11–21 The risk of diabetes mellitus is elevated among nonsmokers exposed to SHS when compared with nonsmokers who are not exposed to SHS. 20 SHS also has been shown to influence the risk of major depression and suicidal ideation, 22 and it increases the risk for sudden infant death syndrome. 23 The Institute of Medicine and others have found that smoke-free ordinances reduce the risk of heart attacks, and other research has demonstrated reductions in asthma-related emergency department visits.…”

This article evaluates changes in self-reported smoking prevalence in a state (Kentucky) with one of the highest smoking prevalence rates in the United States, during the onset of local enactments of local laws designed to reduce smoking in workplaces and public buildings. To date, there have been only a few studies evaluating the medium- to long-term effects of smoke-free ordinances on smoking prevalence, particularly at the local level.
