Second hand smoke |
Passive exposure of non-smokers to tobacco smoke continues to be a health concern. EPH investigates the cardio-respiratory impact of second hand smoke both in children and adults, taking into account the role of genes in modifying one’s sensitivity to these toxicants. The SAPALDIA study highlighted the effects of smoke exposure at work on respiratory health, thereby making a strong global contribution to the adoption of smoking bans at work. COSIBAR is evaluating the effect of smoking bans on the cardio-respiratory health of hospitality workers.
