| Research Abstract |
Home systolic blood pressure of nonsmoking women exposed to environmental tobacco smoke was significantly higher than that of women not exposed. Also, the risk of development of home hypertension among nonsmoking women with normal home blood pressure living with current smokers was significantly higher than that of those living with nonsmokers. Moreover, the risk of development of stroke among nonsmoking women with normal home blood pressure living with current smokers was significantly higher than that of those living with nonsmokers. It is important to prevent passive smoke at home.
