(2020) found exposure to second hand smoke (SHS) was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality among adults with heart failure.1 Their study contributes to a robust literature on the negative health effects of SHS.2 It also underscores the importance of comprehensive clean indoor air and smoke-free laws as a key public health policy that can reduce the burden of tobacco-associated disease and death.
