Each year, a substantial number of global deaths are attributed to secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure, with children representing a significant proportion of these fatalities. This systematic review evaluates the effects of passive smoking, or SHS, on children's health outcomes, focusing on respiratory conditions, behavioral issues, cognitive impairment, growth retardation, and immune system effects. A comprehensive literature search was conducted from July 5 to July 18, 2024, across multiple databases according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines.
