Background Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in children is linked with the development of allergic asthma. However, its influence on allergic sensitisation in children has not been conclusively determined. Objective To systematically review existing evidence of ETS exposure's impact on markers of allergic sensitisation in children. Methods CENTRAL, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched. Included studies assessed following markers of atopic sensitisation: total immunoglobulin E…

Postnatal environmental tobacco smoke exposure is associated with objective markers of atopy in preschool-aged children
  • J. Gaffin
  • Medicine
    Evidence-Based Medicine
  • 2015
TLDR
The relationship of postnatal exposure to ETS with objective markers of atopy is examined, including difficulties parsing prenatal versus postnatal Exposure, accurate measures of exposure and unbiased measures of health outcomes.
Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke and Prevalence of Atopic Dermatitis among Adolescents in Kuwait
TLDR
Intervention fostering voluntary adoption of a smoke-free home rule may help protect the adolescents against ETS exposure and alleviate the menace of associated morbidity.
The effects of secondhand smoke on respiratory pathology, sensitization and development of allergic diseases in young children (literature review)
TLDR
The article provides literature data and presents a modern view on the problem of secondhand tobacco smoke impact on the child population in Ukraine and indicates an association between the effect of passive smoking and the frequency and severity of oral cavity and middle ear pathology.
Influence of Second-Hand Smoke and Prenatal Tobacco Smoke Exposure on Biomarkers, Genetics and Physiological Processes in Children—An Overview in Research Insights of the Last Few Years
TLDR
The limitation of domestic and public exposure to SHS as well as PTS exposure has to be in the focus of policymakers and the public in order to save the health of children at an early age.
Active smoking effect in allergic rhinitis
TLDR
In the study of AR, active smokers do not demonstrate impaired nasal related quality of life or impact on atopic inflammatory parameters, compared to non-smokers.
Vitamins A and E during Pregnancy and Allergy Symptoms in an Early Childhood—Lack of Association with Tobacco Smoke Exposure
TLDR
Multivariate analysis with inclusion of a variety of confounding factors have not indicated any statistically significant associations between β-carotene, vitamins A and E and the risk of food allergy, atopic dermatitis and wheezing in their children up to 2 years of age.
“Effects of Tobacco Smoke on Aeroallergen Sensitization and Clinical Severity among University Students and Staff with Allergic Rhinitis”
TLDR
In conclusion, tobacco smoke exposure did not appear to have much influence on aeroallergen sensitization for 7 of the 8 antigens examined, however, for the Periplaneta americana antigen, there was a highly significant correlation with patients experiencing worsened allergic rhinitis symptoms.
The Association between Tobacco Smoke and Serum Immunoglobulin E Levels in Korean Adults
TLDR
Current smoking status was an independent risk factor for elevated total IgE levels and IgE Levels specific to cockroach allergen and total and specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in Korean adults in a cumulative, dose-dependent manner.
Passive smoking induces nasal biofilms in children.
Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke in Relation to Behavioral, Emotional, Social and Health Indicators of Slovak School Children
TLDR
A significant association was found between ETS and age, socio-economic status, incompleteness of the family, level of mother’s education and a higher prevalence of respiratory diseases and the results showed mostly the predominant impact of social factors on the physical and mental health status of Slovak school children.

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and sensitisation in children
TLDR
Exposure in early infancy to ETS increases the risk of IgE sensitisation to indoor inhalant and food allergens, and this effect seemed to be confined to infants of parents without allergic diseases and to Ets exposure during early infancy.
Health effects of passive smoking .5. Parental smoking and allergic sensitisation in children.
TLDR
Parental smoking, either before or immediately after birth, is unlikely to increase the risk of allergic sensitisation in children.
Smoking exposure and allergic sensitization in children according to maternal allergies.
TLDR
To evaluate how maternal allergies modulate the effect of tobacco exposure on allergic sensitization in childhood, 9000 children in grades 4 and 5 selected in 6 cities in France were surveyed and children exposed to maternal smoking had a higher risk of sensitization to house dust mite, especially when the mothers were allergic.
In utero and childhood exposure to parental tobacco smoke, and allergies in schoolchildren.
TLDR
There was no association between atopy, rhinitis, eczema and parental smoking, respectively, and ETS remains a risk factor of wheezing in childhood, while counselling parents of children to quit smoking still remains a public health policy.
Parental tobacco smoking is associated with augmented IL-13 secretion in children with allergic asthma.
TLDR
Results indicate that ETS augments the expression and secretion of IL-13 in allergic asthma and that nasopharyngeal aspiration is a suitable method to assess cytokine measurements in airways in children.
Prenatal and Passive Smoke Exposure and Incidence of Asthma and Wheeze: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
TLDR
Building upon previous findings, exposure to passive smoking increases the incidence of wheeze and asthma in children and young people by at least 20%.
Risk factors for respiratory symptoms and atopic sensitisation in the Baltic area.
TLDR
The study suggests that factors related to domestic crowding protect against atopic sensitisation in Estonia and Poland, and a higher standard of living with less crowding may give rise to an increasing prevalence of atopic sensitivity also in Eastern Europe.
Passive exposure to cigarette smoke does not increase allergic sensitization in children.
The association between tobacco and the risk of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema in children and adolescents: analyses from Phase Three of the ISAAC programme
TLDR
The presence of a dose–response effect relationship with asthma symptoms suggests that the relationship is causal, however for eczema and rhinoconjunctivitis causality is less certain.
Passive smoking and respiratory allergies in adolescents.
TLDR
Results of the study indicate that clinical manifestations of allergic diseases are more frequent in smokers (both active and passive) than in nonsmokers, leading to a presumption of a possibly more harmful effect of passive than active smoking in the adolescent high school population.
