Up to two in three children have evidence of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the developed world,1 mostly from parental smoking. ETS has been highly associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis. The mechanism by which ETS influences allergic conditions is unclear. Limitations have included difficulties parsing prenatal versus postnatal exposure, accurate measures of exposure and unbiased measures of health outcomes.

Observational studies of children aged 0–18 years old for the … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DArch%2BDis%2BChild%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1136%252Farchdischild-2013-305444%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F24958794%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/ijlink?linkType=ABST&journalCode=archdischild&resid=99/11/985&atom=%2Febmed%2F20%2F6%2F219.atom
