SUMMARY There is limited evidence and lack of consensus whether second-hand smoke (SHS) increases risk of tuberculosis (TB), which has substantial implications for unrestricted smoking indoors and TB control policies. We aimed to establish the association between SHS and the risk of acquiring and worsening of TB in non-smokers. We identified 428 articles in the initial search and 12 comparative epidemiological studies met our inclusion criteria. Exposure to SHS was found to have a higher risk…

Although all smoking interventions increased smoking cessation between 15% and 82%, many studies had a high risk for bias, including six without a control group, and future research should standardize definitions of smoking and cessation to allow comparisons across studies.
