“…Analysis of the effects of SHS has come from studies of nonsmokers who are married to a smoker, with similar findings also reported in studies of workplace exposure to tobacco smoke [3]. SHS consists of mainstream smoke (the smoke exhaled by a smoker) and sidestream smoke (the smoke released from a cigarette into the surrounding air) [4]. The main component of SHS is sidestream smoke, which is about 4 times more toxic than mainstream smoke [5], and has the most impact on the health of passive smokers [6].…”

“…Adolescence is a period where various changes, such as the development of secondary sexual characteristics, physical growth, and cognitive and emotional changes, occur rapidly, and self-consciousness is not fully matured [ 7 , 8 ]. Daily, adolescents are involuntarily exposed to SHS, which causes greater damage than that caused in adults [ 2 ].…”

This study aimed to determine whether secondhand smoking (SHS) in adolescents is associated with allergic diseases. Data from the 2019 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey were used (N = 37,848 Korean adolescents: 19,114 boys and 18,734 girls). This study assessed SHS exposure using questionnaire data, which included information, such as exposure to SHS and allergic diseases. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between exposure to SHS and allergic diseases. The results showed that exposure to SHS in schools and public places, exposure for 1–3 days (OR = 1.158, 95% CI, 1.077–1.246), 4–6 days (OR = 1.308, 95% CI, 1.190–1.438), and everyday (OR = 1.306, 95% CI, 1.187–1.437), and exposure in one, two, or three places were significantly associated with allergic diseases (one OR = 1.226, 95% CI, 1.169–1.128, two OR = 1.289, 95% CI, 1.222–1.360 and three OR = 1.282, 95% CI, 1.177–1.395). The present results show that exposure to SHS occurs in various places and at various frequencies, and it is associated with allergic diseases in Korean adolescents.

“…SHS is a preventable cause of disease that has a high impact on public health [2,3]. SHS is comprised of both mainstream smoke which is defined as a bystander’s inhalation of smoke from a smoker’s exhalations, whereas side stream smoke, is the smoke that rises from the end of a burning cigarette [4]. Side stream smoke accounts for approximately 80% of the smoke that surrounds a cigarette smoker.…”

Objectives To examine the factors affecting passive exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) in non-smoking student nurses. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 196 college students who had not smoked cigarettes in the past 12 months. Urinary cotinine levels were examined to identify exposure to SHS, and social factors were identified that influenced exposure to SHS, including requests that smokers extinguish cigarettes. Logistic regression analysis was used to predict the factors influencing SHS. Results Urinary cotinine measurements showed that 32 students (16.3%) were exposed to SHS. Risk factors that increased exposure to SHS affected 80 students (40.8%) in the previous 7 days. Students who were exposed to SHS were 4.45-times more likely to have increased urinary cotinine levels than those who were not exposed. Students who asked others to extinguish their cigarettes were 0.34 times less likely to test positive than those who did not. Conclusion Urinary cotinine was a useful biomarker for identifying exposure to SHS, with respect to the influence of demographic, health-related, and smoking-related factors. In non-smoking nursing students, avoiding exposure to SHS was attributed to self-assertive behavior by requesting smokers to extinguish cigarettes.
