Abstract

: Passive smoking is a world health problem and part of the tobacco epidemic which victimizes mostly adolescents. Epidemiological studies have, essentially, addressed the association between passive smoke exposure and respiratory health in adult population, and increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) & lung cancer among adult nonsmokers. Relatively few studies have been reported on lung function in relation to effects of passive smoking among nonsmoking individuals.To investigate the effects of passive smoking on lung functions among individuals in urban region. The present study was composed of smokers, passive smokers and nonsmokers (control), aged between 17 and 25 years. Ninety healthy individuals were placed in three different groups on the basis of questionnaire (Group A: active smoker, Group B: passive smoker, Group C: control). Study was done with the help of spirometer (RMS Helios 401).FEFFEV1/FVC% values were significantly decreased in passive smokers as compared to control individuals (P<0.001, P<0.05). The present study suggests a significant reduction of lung functions in individuals exposed to passive smoke.

被动吸烟对城市居民肺功能的影响

:被动吸烟是一个世界性的健康问题，也是烟草流行病的一部分，其主要受害者是青少年。流行病学研究主要涉及被动吸烟与成年人呼吸系统健康之间的关系，以及成年非吸烟者罹患慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）和肺癌的风险增加。关于被动吸烟对非吸烟者肺功能影响的研究报告相对较少。本研究的研究对象包括吸烟者、被动吸烟者和不吸烟者（对照组），年龄在 17 至 25 岁之间。根据问卷将 90 名健康人分为三组（A 组：主动吸烟者，B 组：被动吸烟者，C 组：对照组）。与对照组相比，被动吸烟者的 FEFFEV1/FVC% 值明显下降（P<0.001，P<0.05）。本研究表明，被动吸烟者的肺功能明显下降。
