- Summary:
- Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) brings together in one source the key observations on the nature and effects of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. The book focuses on the pathological effects of environmental tobacco smoke in pregnant women, newborns, youths, adults, and the elderly. It also addresses ETS' contribution in the development of asthma, tobacco allergy, heart disease, and cancer. The book examines the role of ETS in bringing about other maladies such as DNA damage, gene activation, and immunosuppression and the related problem of establishing clear links between the ETS and health problems in non-smokers.
