Background: According to the World Health Organization, Second-Hand Smoking (SHS) is causing 1.2 million deaths annually. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the SHS impact on pulmonary functions and Health- Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) among healthy, non-smoking female, and to determine whether SHS may cause harmful effects.
Materials and Methods: Using surveys, HRQOL, and Pulmonary function tests to compare SHS-exposed vs. non-exposed groups.
Results: SHS linked to reduced FVC% and higher R5–R20, which can suggest small airway involvement; while HRQOL unaffected.
Conclusion: Second-hand smoke exposure may impair lung function in healthy non-smoking females, particularly affecting FVC% and Z5%, with signs of early small airway involvement.
