This study presents the first estimate of the worldwide burden of disease and premature death attributable to exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) during 2004 through a retrospective analysis of data from 192 countries. The resulting burden of disease is measured as number of deaths and loss of diability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for children and adult non-smokers.
