This book examines the detrimental impact of tobacco consumption and secondhand smoke on cardiovascular health, specifically focusing on ischemic heart disease (IHD). It highlights that tobacco use is linked to approximately 1.9 million deaths annually from IHD, accounting for about 21% of such deaths globally. The text discusses the mechanisms through which smoking and passive smoke exposure contribute to heart disease, including inflammation, blood clot formation, and reduced oxygen delivery. It emphasizes the significant health benefits of quitting tobacco, noting that the risk of IHD decreases to that of a non-smoker after 15 years of cessation. The book also covers the socio-economic factors influencing the prevalence of IHD and the role of smokeless tobacco products. Intended for healthcare professionals and policymakers, the book advocates for comprehensive tobacco control measures to reduce the global burden of heart disease.

This dissertation by Noomi Carlsson explores the impact of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on children's health and evaluates a new model for tobacco prevention in child health care (CHC) in Sweden. The study focuses on areas with a high prevalence of parental smoking and aims to reduce children's exposure to ETS. The research involves CHC nurses and parents, using interventions like the Smoking in Children's Environment Test (SiCET) and measuring cotinine levels in children to assess exposure. The results indicate that targeted interventions can lead to reduced smoking in homes and lower ETS exposure for children. The work highlights the importance of CHC nurses in preventive measures and discusses the effectiveness of various intervention strategies.
