Tobacco Use and SHS Exposure in MA
Part III Risks of SHS/THS and
Aerosol Exposure
(Expected time for completion: 10 minutes)
Risks of SHS/THS and Aerosol Exposure
• What is secondhand smoke (SHS)?
– “Secondhand smoke is a mixture of the smoke given off by the burning end of a cigarette, pipe or cigar and the smoke exhaled from the lungs of smokers.”
• You may see the terms “ETS”, “passive smoking” or “involuntary smoking” used in newspaper articles or scientific research. However, “secondhand smoke” is the preferred and most readily understood term.
Risks of SHS/THS and Aerosol Exposure
• There are over 7,000 chemicals in SHS, including hundreds that are toxic and about 70 that can cause cancer.
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Secondhand Smoke (SHS) Facts
• Take a moment to view the 2-page “Secondhand Smoke: It’s Bad for Every Body” handout. The handout was produced by the Massachusetts Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Program and is available for free at the MA Clearinghouse.
• Which of the chemicals listed on the “Secondhand Smoke: It’s Bad for Every Body” handout do you think would come as a surprise to the families you work with? Which have surprised you?
Risks of SHS/THS and Aerosol Exposure
What are the health risks associated with SHS exposure?
Take a moment to make your own list of all the ways you
know of that SHS could harm children or adults. Then continue to the next slide.
Risks of SHS/THS and Aerosol Exposure
What are the health risks associated
with SHS exposure? • View the “Hazards of Secondhand Smoke Exposure” handout for
detailed information about the risks of SHS exposure including risks of smoking during pregnancy.
– Key risks for children include asthma, ear infections, respiratory infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis) and SIDS.
– Key risks for adults include heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and respiratory conditions (including bronchitis and emphysema).
Risks of SHS/THS and Aerosol Exposure
Risks of SHS/THS and Aerosol Exposure
• What is thirdhand smoke (THS)?
– “Thirdhand Smoke refers to tobacco residue and stale or aged secondhand smoke. THS is not strictly smoke, but chemicals that adhere to surfaces from which they can be released back into the air, undergo chemical transformations and/or accumulate.”
Source: Jacob et al (2017) Thirdhand Smoke: New Evidence, Challenges, and Future Directions
• What is aerosol exposure? – Contrary to popular belief, e-cigarettes do not emit a harmless
water vapor, but a concoction of chemicals toxic to human cells in the form of an aerosol (vapors are purely gases, aerosols also contain particulate matter).
– People passively exposed to e-cigarette aerosol absorb nicotine, volatile organic compounds and ultrafine particles, and thirdhand exposure to nicotine is an additional risk.
– Passive exposure to e-cigarette aerosol is associated with potential adverse health effects.
Sources: California DPH 2015 Health Advisory and State Health Officer’s Report
Hess et al (2016) A systematic review of the health risks from passive exposure to electronic cigarette vapour
Goniewicz & Lee (2015) Electronic Cigarettes Are a Source of Thirdhand Exposure to Nicotine
• Risk of nicotine poisoning from e-liquids – While nicotine in any form can cause poisonings, since 2011
poison control centers have been most concerned about exposures to e-cigarette products and liquid nicotine, as the concentration of nicotine in liquid products is higher than in most other tobacco products.
– Since 2015, liquids or gels containing nicotine must be sold in child-resistant packaging in MA. However, children may still be attracted by colorful containers and try to drink the liquid.
– Drinking/ingesting e-liquids can lead to life-threatening and severe symptoms like seizures, decreased heart rate, and decreased blood pressure. These symptoms can happen to anyone, but the risk is greatest in children due to their size.

• It is important to address the social and psychological components of nicotine addiction in addition to the biological components.
• See the “Biopsychosocial Model of Tobacco Dependence” handout for more information.
Nicotine Addiction and Tobacco Treatment
• Nearly 7 out of 10 adult cigarette smokers (68%) want to quit.
• Smokers can double or triple their chances of successfully quitting by using a combination of counseling, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) such as patches, gum or lozenges, and/or the FDA-approved cessation medications.

Part V: Stages of Change and
Motivational Interviewing
(Expected time for completion: 40 minutes)
• The Stages of Change is a great framework for thinking about the steps people go through before and after making changes in their behavior (e.g. deciding not to smoke around children, quitting smoking, changing eating habits, etc.).
Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of Change
Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of Change
• Handout: “Stages of Change”
• Review the handout to see an explanation of the five stages of change as they apply to quitting smoking.
Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of Change
• Key Takeaway: Your goal in working with a client is to identify what stage of change the client is in and help him/her move from one stage to the next (e.g. from contemplation to preparation) rather than focusing on achieving complete behavior change overnight.
• Remember that clients can be in different stages of change for different issues. For example, a client may be in precontemplation for quitting smoking but may be in preparation or action for addressing their children’s secondhand smoke exposure.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• MI is a very effective, non-confrontational approach for
working with clients on achieving behavior change.
• MI recognizes that people need to feel internally
motivated to make a successful change.
• MI asks for permission to give information (e.g. on SHS/
THS/Aerosol, tobacco use, or the benefits of speaking
with other healthcare providers about quitting smoking).
• See a description at www.motivationalinterviewing.org of
MI by Stephen Rollnick, Ph.D., & William R. Miller, Ph.D.,
• Handout “Motivational Interviewing and Secondhand/Thirdhand Smoke (SHS/THS) and Aerosol” – Information about the principles of MI, techniques
and tips. – Includes a useful list of open-ended questions relating
to families and SHS/THS/aerosol. Open-ended questions are a great way to talk about any issue. Unlike closed-ended questions which only require a “yes” or “no” response, open-ended questions can help you start a meaningful conversation with a client and learn more about what your client already knows or feels about an issue.
Scenarios
• Review the “Stages of Change and Motivational Interviewing: Secondhand/Thirdhand Smoke and Aerosol Scenarios” handout.
• Read through the scenarios and answer the following questions for each scenario: – What stage of change (for the issue of SHS/THS/aerosol) is the
client in? – What is the clinician’s goal in this stage? – What open-ended questions might you use? (Remember to use
the Open-ended Questions from the previous handout for examples)
– What are some next steps you would want to take with the client?
– Complete the questions for all three scenarios before advancing to the next page.
Scenarios - Answers
• Scenario 1 (Diane)
– Stage of change: Pre-Contemplation
– Goal: Help Diane move to “contemplation” by introducing
ambivalence.
– Sample open-ended questions: What do you know about
secondhand and thirdhand smoke and your family’s health/your
child’s ear infections? What’s it like to be talking about this?
– Next steps might include: Helping Diane see the connection
between her children’s health problems and SHS/THS and
drawing the distinction between smoking outside of her
home/car and quitting smoking altogether.
Scenarios - Answers
• Scenario 2 (Carl)
– Stage of change: Preparation
– Goal: Help Carl move from “preparation” to “action” by working
together to come up with strategies.
– Sample open-ended questions: What have you done so far
to reduce your son’s exposure to SHS/THS? What else do you
think would work? What has helped you to not smoke when
your children are in the car?
– Next steps might include: Helping Carl make a plan for not
smoking in his car/home and identifying other sources of
SHS/THS exposure.
Scenarios - Answers
• Scenario 3 (Maria)
– Stage of change: Contemplation
– Goal: Help Maria move from “contemplation” to “preparation”
by resolving ambivalence in favor of change.
– Sample open-ended questions: What would it take for you
to feel like you could be successful in quitting vaping? What do
you know about how nicotine affects your baby’s health? What
worked well for you when you quit smoking? What was difficult?
– Next steps might include: Increasing her confidence for
quitting vaping by drawing on her success of quitting cigarettes.
Finding out if Maria is interested in receiving information about
the risks of vaping/nicotine use during pregnancy and how to
talk with Thomas about how their vaping affects their baby.
Part VI: Addressing SHS/THS and
Aerosol with Families
(Expected time for completion: 10 minutes)
Addressing SHS with Families
• Review the handout: “Talking to Families about SHS/THS
and Aerosol: Conversation Starters & Tips” for sample
language.
– What conversation starters feel comfortable to you?
– Which tips might be useful for you?
Addressing SHS with Families
• For situations where someone else other than your client is the
person who is smoking/vaping around children, review the handout
“Helping Clients Talk with Others about SHS/THS and Aerosol.”
– What are some options for helping a client who is living with a
person who smokes/vapes?
– Could the person who is living with your client speak with you?
Could they speak with a doctor at an upcoming medical
appointment for the child? Read information about secondhand
smoke?
Addressing SHS with Families
• Think about when you plan to address SHS/THS/aerosol with
families.
• For example:
– When the client mentions tobacco use
– When concerns about asthma, ear infections, respiratory
infections, SIDS or other related health issues arise
– During conversations about safety or children’s health
• Remember that SHS/THS/aerosol can be addressed as part of
a conversation about other issues or as a stand alone topic
depending on what works best given your client and the
situation.
Addressing SHS with Families
Think of a client who smokes/vapes (or an example from your personal life if you haven’t
yet worked with a client who smokes/vapes)
Refer to the MI and “Talking to Families” handouts and
decide: – When/how would you bring up the topic of SHS/THS/aerosol?
– What would you say? What do you expect your client would say?
– Which of the free resources on SHS/THS/aerosol and/or cessation would you use?
Part VII: Resources / Wrap Up
(Expected time for completion: less than 10 minutes)
