Do you know?Secondhand smoke causes premature death and disease in children and in adults who do not smoke. Children who exposed to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), acute respiratory infections, ear problems, and more severe asthma. Secondhand smoke immediately affects the heart and blood circulation in a harmful way. Over a longer time it also causes heart disease and lung cancer.
The scientific evidence shows that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.
Many millions of Americans, both children and adults, are still exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes and workplaces despite a great deal of progress in tobacco control.

In fact,secondhand tobacco smoke can get into hair and clothing.I myself experienced this where all of my clothes and hair smell cigarettes smoke becaused I lived in a house with a smoker.It is a big problem for me because I felt uncomfortable with the smell.
Therefore,what do you think can be done with secondhand smoke?
Wake up and smell the coffee!
