由国家环境健康科学研究所资助的儿童健康暴露评估资源的可用性为探索烟草烟雾暴露在对儿童造成伤害方面的作用提供了新的机会。吸烟者的孩子在子宫内以及在他们的环境中暴露于尼古丁和其他有害的烟草烟雾化学物质。这种被动接触烟草烟雾对儿童有各种负面影响。在子宫内暴露于烟草烟雾会导致不良的出生结果，并影响肺，心血管和大脑发育，使儿童在以后的生活中面临更多的不良健康后果，如肥胖，行为问题和心血管疾病。此外，大多数吸烟者在青春期开始吸烟，这是尼古丁成瘾风险增加的年龄。烟草暴露的生物标志物有助于澄清烟草化学品在影响儿童及以后健康方面的作用。虽然电子烟似乎是一种降低危害的尼古丁输送装置，但它似乎是青少年使用可燃香烟的门户。有兴趣阐明烟草烟雾暴露在儿童不良后果中的作用的儿科研究人员应在其研究中纳入烟草暴露的生物标志物。
The availability of the Children’s Health Exposure Assessment Resource funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences provides new opportunities for exploring the role of tobacco smoke exposure in causing harm to children. Children of smokers are exposed to nicotine and other harmful tobacco smoke chemicals in utero as well as in their environment. This passive exposure to tobacco smoke has a variety of negative effects on children. In utero exposure to tobacco smoke causes poor birth outcomes and influences lung, cardiovascular and brain development, placing children at increased risk of a number of adverse health outcomes later in life such as obesity, behavioral problems and cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, most smokers start in their adolescence, an age of increased nicotine addiction risk. Biomarkers of tobacco exposure helps clarify the role tobacco chemicals play in influencing health both in childhood and beyond. While e-cigarettes appear to be a nicotine delivery device of reduced harm, it appears to be a gateway to the use of combustible cigarette smoking in adolescents. Pediatric researchers interested in elucidating the role of tobacco smoke exposure in adverse outcomes in children should incorporate biomarkers of tobacco exposure in their studies.
