Assessing the Causal Effects of Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure: A meta-analytic Mendelian randomisation study

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Smoking is a major cause of global morbidity and premature mortality. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS; “second-hand” or “passive smoking”) may also contribute to ill health.
