Summary |
"Environmental Tobacco Smoke brings together in one source the studies on the nature and effects of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. The book also probes the role of the political and legal systems in regulating individual behavior, the exposure risks, and the health consequences of ETS. Environmental Tobacco Smoke also assesses the effectiveness of antioxidant supplements in lowering ETS damage and the usefulness of animal models in refining the precision of studies."--Jacket |
