Study into the effect of passive smoking on children shows boys are more likely to suffer high blood pressure more than girls | Mail Online

In the first study of its kind, researchers have found that boys who inhale second-hand tobacco smoke at home may experience significant levels of raised blood pressure.

In later life the study revealed that this could lead to high blood pressure, or hypertension, and an increased risk of heart disease.

However, in girls, passive smoking appeared to be associated with a lowering of blood pressure.
