The aim of this study was to determine the effect of passive smoking on children by comparing some of the respiratory parameters of the children of smoker and non-smoker parents. A total of 200 students, aged 12-14 years, were participated in the study, including 100 students who were exposed to smoke and 100 students who were not exposed to smoke. The age, body weight and respiratory functions of the students were measured. Respiratory parameters were assessed as forced vital capacity (FVC), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), vital capacity (VC) data. The independent t test was used in the analysis of the obtained data. Significant differences were found among the groups in all of the age, height and respiration parameters of males and females (p<0.05). When the significant difference in VC values examined, there was no difference in FVC and MVV values between groups of respiratory parameters of passive smokers and non-smokers (p>0.05), significant differences were found in VC values (p <0.05). As a result, we found that VC which is the respiratory functions in children who were exposed to cigarette smoke was affected negatively in our study. Changing parent's smoking behavior will contribute to increased quality of life of children who exposed to cigarette smoke.

Relationship between Parental Smoking and Children's Pulmonary FunctionTo Study/Understand the Exposureresponse Relationship between Parental Smoking and Children's Pulmonary Function Materials and Method: Participants were selected randomly who fit into the inclusion criteria. Selected participants to be then made understood for the nature of study. Subjects were asked to seat upright on table / stool facing the Spirometer machine. Spirometer was done with the RMH Helios computerized Spirometer. Subjects were asked use nose clip and exhale complete and maximum air for long duration then immediately take deep inspiration followed by complete and maximum expiration for long time. Out of 3 or 4 manoeuvres the best manoeuvre was selected and % predicted of FEV 1 , FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEFR, FEF25-75 was documented. Results: Statical analysis was done by using Parametric (unpaired t test) and or nonparametric (Mann Whitney) statical test with 95 % class interval (one tailed p). Spearman's correlation test was obtained to check the relationship between variables. Conclusion: There is a significant reduction in PEFR due to obstructive effect of parental smoking (passive smoking) on pulmonary function of the children. And with increase in number of packs per years, there is a reduction in FEV1, FVC, PEFR and FEF25-75 of children.

The effects of parental smoking on anthropometric parameters, peak expiratory flow rate and physical condition in school children2014 •
Passive smoking in children is a considerable health problem, mainly arising from parental smoking. The objectives of the present cross-sectional study were to assess the impact of passive smoking on 1) anthropometric parameters; 2) peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR); and 3) physical condition in school children. The target population included 177 children attending elementary school 5th to 8th grade. Study subjects were divided into two groups according to parental smoking habits. Body weight and height were determined using a digital weighing scale and digital stadiometer; PEFR was measured between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. using a Peak Flow Meter; and physical condition was assessed by the 6-minute run test. Sixty-six percent of study children were exposed to passive smoking. The children of smoking parents had higher BMI [18.79 (17.50-21.13) kg/m2] than children of nonsmoking parents [17.90 (16.00-20.00) kg/m2; p = 0.036]. There was no statistically significant difference in body height ...

The effect of passive smoking on pulmonary function during childhood1999 •
Objective: We have aimed to emphasize the importance of querying the outpatients at the polyclinics on family history of cigarette smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke at childhood and/or adolescence in the home environment as well as determining their current smoking habit.Methods: The study included 72 cigarette smoking young adults within the age range of 18-40 years. Demographic details, personal and parental history of cigarette smoking were noted; the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea scores were calculated.Results: Mean age of the participants was 31 years, with 63.9% being males. Daily mean cigarette smoking was 16 cigarettes/day; the mean duration of smoking was 11packs/year; and mothers of 5.6% and fathers 40.3% of the participants were smokers .At least one parent of the participants with an MRC score of 2 were smokers (p=0,001). While the mean FEV1 for the participants with nonsmoker parents was 3.3lt, this was 2.9lt for the participants with at least one cigarette smoking parent, and the difference was significant (p=0,021).Conclusion:Young adult cigarette smokers who had thus been exposed to cigarette smoke in early life should be accepted as a ''high risk group'' for COPD development and should be put under follow up control for respiratory function capacity.

Health effects of passive smoking in adolescent childrenTo study the effects of passive smoking on health in adolescent schoolchildren by questionnaire, spirometry and laboratory investigations. Two schools in the Vanderbijlpark area. Seven hundred and twenty-six high-school children of average age 16 years. Lung function, serological abnormality or historical (i.e. questionnaire) evidence of ill health. The prevalence of respiratory illness before and after 2 years, respiratory symptoms, earache over the past year, low birth weight and learning difficulties were found to be significantly increased in the children exposed to parenteral smoke in the home, especially those exposed to maternal smoking. Spirometric and laboratory parameters, however, were not affected by passive smoking.

The Effect of Cigarette Smoking on Lung Capacity in Active, Previous, and Passive student smokers2017 •
Cigarette smoke predisposes a person to a lot of preventable diseases; this study aimed at comparing Lung Function in active, previous and non-smokers in students using the ratio of Forced Vital Capacity, to Forced Expiratory Volume measurement in one second called the Tiffeneau-Pinelli Index. Methods: A cross-section of 77 students from the St. James School of Medicine, Anguilla campus in the Caribbean who are active smokers, previous smokers or non-smokers were randomly sampled with consent using questionnaire based study and measurement of FEV/FVC ratio was done. Result: The results showed that the mean FEV/FVC ratio for Smokers was lower than that for non-smokers and Ex-smokers in both test 1 and 2. The FEV/FVC ratio by sex was higher in females for both test 1 and 2. There were significant differences among the races with Caucasians having the lowest mean value of 86.04 and 85.88 for test 1 and 2 respectively. Higher ratio of more than 0.7 for smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers was recorded for mean FEV/FVC ratio. Conclusion: The FEV/FVC ratio was lower in smokers compared to non-smokers and Ex-smokers though not statistically significant.
