ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure poses significant risks to children's health, yet global research on this issue requires further analysis to facilitate a comprehensive exploration of knowledge production and topic trends. This study aims to analyze the research outputs, cooperation and evolution on children's exposure to secondhand smoke.
