Sažetak
Tobacco consumption is one of the most common preventable cause of premature deaths worldwide. Persisting effects of exposure to tobacco smoke on children and adolescents are apparent during pregnancy and in early infancy, passive exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in home and elsewhere, and active smoking during adolescence. While, lung development in these stages of growth is not complete, tobacco smoke puts children and adolescents in danger of severe respiratory diseases and may interfere with the growth of their lungs. Active tobacco consumption by adolescents may have immediate adverse health outcomes such as addiction, impaired lung growth or reduced lung function. Much of the current evidence comes from longitudinal and cross-sectional longitudinal observational studies and propose that the strongest associations with smoke exposure are in the pregnancy and early childhood. The association of nicotine with respiratory system among children and adolescents is less clearly understood and the evidence primarily comes from in vitro and animal studies.
