A large-scale study published in The Lancet Public Health estimates that secondhand smoke caused 1.66 million premature deaths worldwide in 2023. Some 2.7 billion people, including 767 million children, were exposed to tobacco smoke. The researchers emphasize that there is no safe level of exposure, with particularly significant consequences for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. They call for stronger anti-smoking policies, especially to protect children and women.
