Three parameters were measured: Forced vital capacity (FVC), Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), and Mid-Maximum expiratory flow rate (MMEF). Of those measurement MMEF showed the most important changed in 23% of patients. Passive smoking produced changed on 32.2% on asthmatic patients in any of pulmonary function test.
