It has been widely accepted for over 10 years that secondhand smoke causes heart disease (Taylor et al. 1992; California Environmental Protection Agency 1997; California Environmental Protection Agency 2005; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2006), with about a 30% increase in risk associated with long-term living or working with smokers. (Newer evidence assessing exposure using the biomarker cotinine suggests that the risk could be twice as large (Whincup et al. 2004).) This… CONTINUE READING
