Inhalation of hazardous air pollutants from environmental tobacco smoke in US residences [PDF]

Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2004
In the United States, 48 million adults smoke 3.5-5 x 10(11) cigarettes/year. Many cigarettes are smoked in private residences, causing regular environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure to roughly 31 million nonsmokers (11% of the US population), including 16 million juveniles.
