Abstract
This study uses raw data covering over
17,000 people from the 2001 National Socio-Economic Survey
(NSES) and 2001 National Household Health Survey (NHHS),
including 3621 children under 10 years of age, to
investigate the relationship between respiratory diseases
and exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke through living in
a home where people smoke. An important finding is that
children under 10 years of age who live in homes where 30 or
more cigarettes are smoked each day are significantly more
likely to have various respiratory diseases than children
who live in smoke-free homes.
