Non-smokers who live with a smoker are exposed to three times the officially recommended safe levels of damaging air particles, according to a study.
The researchers found that living with smokers is the same as living in smoke-free homes in heavily polluted cities such as Beijing or London.
They said moving to smoke-free homes could have major health benefits for non-smokers.
The study has been published online in the BMJ's Tobacco Control journal.
It was carried out by researchers at the universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
