Cardiovascular risks of
secondhand smoke
Secondhand smoke (SHS) increases the risk of coronary
heart disease among nonsmokers by 25%-30%, for both
among men and women, and exposure in home and
workplace.
A significant dose-response relationship between intensity
and duration of exposure to SHS and CVD risks
Risk increases sharply with low doses of SHS (< 5
cigs/day)
Risk increases more slowly and linearly with higher level
of exposure (5-20 cigs/day)
