The number of deaths attributable to second hand smoke exposure has increased between 1990 and 2019 SSRN secondhandsmoke passivesmoking publichealth mortality health exposure
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaAug 2 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study posted to the SSRN* preprint server, researchers estimated the prevalence of and assessed trends in exposure to second-hand smoke and potential drivers of its health outcomes between 1990 and 2019 globally.
The World Health Organization has advised all nations to create smoke-free environments and protect individuals from the negative health effects of passive smoke, such as elevated risks of ischaemic heart disease , chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , respiratory tract infections, stroke, and otitis media.
The team documented second-hand smoke prevalence and its alterations by gender, sociodemographic index , and year between 1990 and 2019. Pairs of risks and outcomes were analyzed across ages to estimate SHS-related disease burden, as evaluated based on mortality counts and the disability-adjusted life years .
The relative risks for diabetes, breast malignancy, and otitis media were obtained from meta-analyses. In contrast, the relative risks for other illnesses were calculated using integrated exposure-response curves for a PM2.5 level of air pollution. The nations with the most passive smokers were predominantly high-to-middle-SDI nations for men and low-to-middle- and middle-sociodemographic index nations for women.
