More than half of American adults have been recently exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke - and the vast majority of them were unaware, according to new research.
“There is no safe level of secondhand smoke exposure, and long term exposure can increase the risk of many chronic conditions, such as coronary heart disease, respiratory disease, and cancers,” said Ruixuan (Roxanne) Wang, a doctoral candidate in the College of Public Health and Health Professions at the University of Florida and the lead author of the new study.
“We want people to be aware of their exposure so they can take protective actions,” Wang said.
