Abstract EN

Smoking is a public health problem that concerns all of society.

Passive smoking can have significant effects on the health of mother and child.

In Algeria, 30% of women whose husbands smoke die of lung cancer and 25% of children (An Algerian two smokes, 2011) whose parents smoke suffer from respiratory diseases.

Tobacco consumption has tripled in Algeria since 1978 and half of smokers under 27.

Some studies that have been made in Algeria (Merkouche, 2006 Dahoumane, 2009 and Abdelkrim, 2015) have demonstrated the role of passive smoking as morbidity and mortality risk factor.

Tobacco use is not declining despite all the damage it causes on the consumer and his entourage.

In this context and given the high prevalence of smoking in Algeria, this article proposes to explain the role of communi1cative approach to the impact of environmental tobacco smoke on health from the results of smoking empirical studies.

Abstract FRE

Le tabagisme est un problème de santé publique qui concerne l'ensemble de la société.

Le tabagisme passif peut avoir des effets significatifs sur la santé de la mère et celle des enfants.

En Algérie, 30% des femmes dont les maris fument meurent du cancer des poumons et 25% d'enfants (Un Algérien sur deux fume, 2011) dont les parents fument souffrent de pathologies respiratoires.

La consommation du tabac a triplé en Algérie depuis 1978 et la moitié des fumeurs a moins de 27 ans.

Certaines études qui ont été réalisés en Algérie (Merkouche, 2006, Dahoumane, 2009 et Abdelkrim, 2015) ont montré le rôle du tabagisme passif comme facteur de risque de morbidité et de mortalité.

L’usage du tabac ne recule pas en dépit de tous les dégâts qu'il provoque sur le consommateur et sur son entourage.

Dans ce contexte et étant donné la prévalence élevée du tabagisme en Algérie, cet article propose d’expliquer le rôle de l’approche communicationnelle de l’impact du tabagisme passif environnemental sur la santé à partir des résultats des études empiriques du tabagisme.
