This Working Group will deal with the characterization of the extent of tobacco-related mortality and morbidity in the North, the identification of high-risk groups, and the design, implementation, and evaluation of prevention programs. A special emphasis will be placed on the effects of passive smoking on the respiratory health of Arctic children who spend a considerable amount of time indoors, especially during the long winter period.
