TY - JOUR AU - Kruger, Judy AU - Trosclair, Angela AU - Rosenthal, Abby AU - Babb, Steve AU - Rodes, Robert PY - 2012 DA - 2012/07/02 TI - Physician advice on avoiding secondhand smoke exposure and referrals for smoking cessation services JO - Tobacco Induced Diseases SP - 10 VL - 10 IS - 1 AB - Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure causes premature death and disease. Eliminating smoking in indoor spaces is the only way to fully protect nonsmokers from SHS exposure, and also contributes to helping smokers quit smoking. Primary health care providers can play an important role in advising nonsmoking patients to avoid SHS exposure, cautioning current smokers against exposing others to SHS, and referring tobacco users to cessation programs.
