Intro:

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the vascular effects of brief second-hand smoke exposure on normal healthy individuals. . . .

Despite evidence to suggest that secondhand smoke contributes to adverse cardiovascular outcomes, little is known about the dose-dependent vascular effects of brief secondhand smoke exposure at low doses commonly encountered in the community. This study will investigate the acute vascular effects and dose-dependent biological mechanisms of secondhand smoke on endothelial function and oxidative stress.
