One in three adults in the United States smokes. Smokers inhale one quarter of the smoke from cigarettes. But 75% of cigarette smoke is released into the environment. Nonsmokers are exposed to this environmental tobacco smoke and are at risk for disease. A growing body of literature supports the association of passive, involuntary, or secondhand smoking with human pathology. This discussion examines the makeup of environmental tobacco smoke and its role in causing human disease with a review of the literature relating environmental tobacco smoke to head and neck pathology.
美国三分之一的成年人吸烟。吸烟者吸入香烟四分之一的烟雾。但75%的香烟烟雾排放到环境中。不吸烟者会接触到这种环境烟草烟雾，从而有患病风险。越来越多的文献支持被动、非自愿或二手烟与人类病理学之间的关联。本讨论通过回顾将环境烟草烟雾与头颈病理学相关的文献，审视环境烟草烟雾的构成及其在导致人类疾病中的作用。
