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

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.

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.

Vitamins A and E during Pregnancy and Allergy Symptoms in an Early Childhood—Lack of Association with Tobacco Smoke Exposure

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”

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.

Gender differences in the association between biomarkers of environmental smoke exposure and developmental disorders in children and adolescents

Strong evidence is provided for gender differences in the association between two tobacco metabolites and DDs in children, disclosing the public health implications and economic burdens of environmental tobacco smoke exposure.

Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke in Relation to Behavioral, Emotional, Social and Health Indicators of Slovak School Children

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

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.

Parental smoking, either before or immediately after birth, is unlikely to increase the risk of allergic sensitisation in children.

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.

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.
