Glantz weighs in on smoke decision |
January 27, 2006
California this week became the first state to declare secondhand smoke a toxic air pollutant. The decision by the California Air Resources Board relied on research showing that exposure to secondhand smoke sharply increases the risk of breast cancer in young women, and links smoke to other diseases such as asthma and heart disease.
UCSF professor and member of the graduate group Stanton Glantz reviewed the science behind the decision.
