Abstract:
There is a consistent positive and significant association between secondhand smoke exposure and mental health outcomes in the literature. There are potential genetic and behavioral confounders (e.g., psychological stress, maternal depression, and family functioning) were discussed, as well as potential causal neurobiological pathways (e.g., dopamine system). Further neurobiological research to establish causal pathways is needed as well as the integration of positive observational findings into clinical and public health prevention practices.
