One Minute of Marijuana Secondhand Smoke Exposure Substantially Impairs Vascular Endothelial Function
BACKGROUND Despite public awareness that tobacco secondhand smoke (SHS) is harmful, many people still assume that marijuana SHS is benign. Debates about whether smoke-free laws should include marijuana are becoming increasingly widespread as marijuana is legalized and the cannabis industry grows. Lack of evidence for marijuana SHS causing acute cardiovascular harm is frequently mistaken for evi...
متن کاملBrief secondhand smoke exposure depresses endothelial progenitor cells activity and endothelial function: sustained vascular injury and blunted nitric oxide production.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to analyze the effects of acute secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure on the number and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) over 24 h. BACKGROUND Secondhand smoke increases the risk of vascular disease and is a major public health concern, but the mechanism(s) of action are not fully understood. METHODS Healthy nonsmokers (age SEM 30.3 +/- 1.3 years, n = 1...
متن کاملThe exposure-dependent effects of aged secondhand smoke on endothelial function.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate whether exposure to a range of relatively low concentrations of aged secondhand smoke (SHS), similar to those encountered commonly in the community, would impair endothelial function in a concentration-dependent manner. BACKGROUND Exposure to SHS impairs endothelial function in humans. The concentration-dependent relationship for aged SHS ef...
متن کاملThe effects of Secondhand Smoke (SHS) exposure on microvascular endothelial function among healthy women
BACKGROUND Studies have demonstrated that secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure could impair endothelial function. However, the effect of SHS exposure specifically on microvascular endothelial function is not well understood. This study aimed to determine the effects of SHS exposure on microvascular endothelial function among non-smoking, generally healthy women. FINDINGS We studied 127 women; and ...
متن کاملEnvironmental monitoring of secondhand smoke exposure
The complex composition of secondhand smoke (SHS) provides a range of constituents that can be measured in environmental samples (air, dust and on surfaces) and therefore used to assess non-smokers' exposure to tobacco smoke. Monitoring SHS exposure (SHSe) in indoor environments provides useful information on the extent and consequences of SHSe, implementing and evaluating tobacco control progr...
