More than 50 carcinogens have been identified in secondhand smoke.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The report of the United States Surgeon General titled \u201cThe health consequences of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke\u201d<\/em> concluded that secondhand smoke causes premature death and disease in children and adults who do not smoke. The scientific evidence indicates that there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, ear problems and more severe asthma. Smoking by parents causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in children. Exposure of adults to secondhand smoke has immediate adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and causes coronary heart disease and lung cancer. Legislation to stop smoking in vehicles carrying children will come into force in England on 1 October 2015.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The evidence is clear that smokefree legislation in England has had beneficial effects on health, as set out in the report \u201cThe Impact of smokefree legislation in England: evidence review\u201d<\/em> which was published alongside the Government\u2019s \u201cTobacco Control Plan for England\u201d<\/em> in March 2011.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The reports referred to have been placed in the Library.<\/p> <\/p>"}

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance Multiple sclerosis: management of multiple sclerosis in primary and secondary care<\/em>, updated in October 2014, sets out best practice on the diagnosis, treatment, care and support of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The guidance makes a range of recommendations on drug based treatments for MS, but also highlights the importance of involving professionals who can meet the needs of the patient in the best way, such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists. <\/del><\/p>With regard to early diagnosis, MS is a difficult condition to diagnose as a number of the symptoms such as fatigue, depression or dizziness may be unrelated. The guidance sets out a number of initial presentations that clinicians should be aware of when looking for signs of MS. It also recommends a number of assessments a clinician should make, including testing of vision and blood tests before referral to a consultant neurologist, who can confirm or exclude a diagnosis of MS, subject to investigation.<\/del><\/p>
The report of the Royal College of Physicians <\/ins>Surgeons<\/del> titled \u201cGoing smoke-free: The medical case for clean air in the home, at work and in public places\u201d<\/em> included estimates that secondhand smoke exposure caused approximately 122<\/del>,200 deaths in the United Kingdom in 2003, and that the majority of these deaths occurred as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke in the home. These estimates were made prior to the introduction of smokefree legislation in England in 2007. Over the past decade, the proportion of smokers who say that they do not smoke in the home has increased.<\/p> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
