Abstract

Presents an editorial on two papers in this issue that offer more evidence on the risks of second-hand smoke. Study which found that cotinine concentrations are not good markers of lung cancer risk; Study which suggests that passive smoking increases the risk of stroke; Limitations of the studies; Belief they add little to what is already known and are unlikely to change policy on smoke free places.
