Abstract

Pušenje predstavlja značajan zdravstveni problem diljem svijeta, sa nikotinom kao glavnom
supstancom duhanskog dima koja izaziva ovisnost. Još krajem prošlog stoljeća krenula su
istraživanja koja su se bazirala i na utjecaju pasivnog pušenja na zdravlje ljudi, jer se počela javljati
sve veća briga da nisu samo aktivni pušači izloženi štetnim utjecajima duhanskog dima, već i ljudi
u njihovoj neposrednoj okolini. Od nedavno se provode i istraživanja na kućnim ljubimcima koji
žive u pušačkim kućanstvima. Kućni ljubimci mogu poslužiti i kao koristan indikator za rizike
povezane s izloženosti prema štetnim tvarima iz okoliša kojeg dijele s ljudima – njihovim
vlasnicima.
Sve je veći broj istraživanja koja pokazuju da sigurna razina izloženosti pasivnom pušenju ne
postoji, kako za ljude, tako i za životinje. Rezultati iz literature potvrdili su da je izloženost
duhanskom dimu u korelaciji sa pojavnosti određenih tumora u pasa i mačaka. Prisutnost nikotina
i njegovog metabolita kotinina u tjelesnim tekućinama, poput seruma, sline, urina, ali i dlake, jasno
upućuje na izloženost duhanskom dimu, kako u pušača, tako i jedinki (ljudi ili životinja) izloženih
pasivnom pušenju.
U današnje vrijeme se nastoje proizvesti drugačiji načini preko kojih čovjek može dobiti svoju
dnevnu količinu duhana, kao rješenje koje će pomoći smanjenju štetnog utjecaja duhanskog dima

Abstract (english)

Smoking is a significant health problem around the world with nicotine as the main substance of
tobacco smoke that causes addiction. At the end of the last century, there is a concern about the
influence of passive smoking on human health, because not only active smokers are exposed to the
adverse effects of tobacco smoke, but also people in their immediate environment. Research has
also recently been conducted on pets living in smoking households. Pets can serve as a useful
indicator of the risks associated with exposure to environmentally harmful substances that they
share with people - their owners.
A growing number of studies indicate that the safe level of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke
does not exist, both for people and for animals. Results from the literature confirm that the exposure
to cigarette smoke is in correlation with the incidence of certain tumors in dogs and cats. The
presence of nicotine and its metabolite cotinine in body fluids, like serum, saliva, urine and hair
can clearly indicate exposure to cigarette smoke, both in smokers, and individuals (people or
animals) exposed to passive smoking.
Nowadays researchers are trying to produce different ways through which people could get they
daily amount of tobacco as a solution that will help reduce the adverse impact of tobacco smoke
