Abstract: Few studies take a life course perspective to explain if exposure to second-hand smoke in childhood influences mental health in adulthood. Importantly, no study provides empirical evidence on the pathways through which exposure to second-hand smoke in childhood influences mental health in adulthood. There is also limited evidence on the factors that moderate the relationship between second-hand smoke exposure and mental health. To inform policy, it is important to explore the pathways through which second-hand smoke influences mental health and understand factors that are likely to moderate this relationship.
