Parental smoke exposure before age 15 years and offspring asthma trajectories from ages 7 to 53 years
This study identified a novel association between parental passive smoke exposure before 15 years of age and an early-onset adult-remitting asthma trajectory in offspring, which is related to subsequent COPD. These findings suggest that in parents inevitably exposed to passive smoke during childhood/puberty, asthma risk in future generations associated with such exposure may be lower if parents avoid smoking around children.
