Its not their fault. There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke and that, on average, children are exposed to more secondhand smoke than adults.

Secondhand smoke also increases the risk of infections anywhere from your child's nose down to his lungs: sinus infections, ear infections (including "glue ear"), pneumonia, and bronchitis. The likelihood of needing surgery to have tubes put in the ears goes way up.

Behavioral Promlems Children born to women nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke during pregnancy and to women who smoked during pregnancy are more likely to suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder. Girls are exposed to higher rates of secondhand smoke than boys, but boys have greater problems with hyperactivity, aggression, depression, and other behavioral problems.

Asthma Asthma attacks are perhaps the most well- known health effect of secondhand smoke exposure among children. Secondhand smoke exposure increases the frequency of episodes and the severity of symptoms in asthmatic children. The EPA estimates that 200,000 to 1,000,000 asthmatic children have their condition worsened by exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke exposure is associated with increased respiratory-related school absenteeism among children, especially those with asthma. Maternal and grand maternal smoking may increase the risk of childhood asthma. Relative to children of never-smokers, children whose mothers smoked throughout the pregnancy have an elevated risk of asthma in the first five years of life. Children whose mothers quit smoking prior to the pregnancy show no increased risk. Secondhand smoke exposure causes children who already have asthma to experience more frequent and severe attacks. related to lifetime wheezing in offspring. 19

There may be an increased risk of cancer, including Leukemia, in children exposed to secondhand smoke. It has been estimated that between 50 and 75 percent of children in the United States have detectable levels of Cotanine in their blood stream. in their bloodstream.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Maternal smoking is the strongest risk factor leading to SIDS. Infants who die from SIDS tend to have higher concentrations of nicotine in their lungs than do control children, regardless of whether smoking is reported.

Kids might be drawn to smoking and chewing tobacco for any number of reasons — to look cool, act older, lose weight, win cool merchandise, seem tough, or feel independent. But parents can combat those draws and keep kids from trying — and getting addicted to — tobacco.

Smoke if you want, but don't make her smoke with you…

So please, protect the children from cigarette smoke…
