Journal Title: Jornal de Pediatria - Year 2017, Vol 93, Issue 3
Abstract
It has been stated that the epidemic consequences of smoking-associated diseases rank among the greatest public health catastrophes in the past century.1 Many cancers as well as chronic diseases have tobacco as their specific and direct cause or their main risk factor. Not only do active smokers suffer from these diseases, but passive smokers do as well.
