Little victim of passive smoking

Passive smoking increases the risk of many diseases in children. Suffice it to mention birth defects, ear infections, respiratory diseases, asthma and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). A growing body vulnerable to the influence of harmful chemical substances contained in smoke.

U.S. doctors believe that in the U.S. respiratory tract infections caused by passive smoking, are the cause of 7,5 - 15 thousand hospitalizations per year. Passive smoking also aggravates asthma symptoms, including causing more frequent attacks. It affects between 200 thousand to 1 million children a year.

The problem is that there is no harmless amount of smoke. To ensure the safety of the child in the house should not have to smoke.

How to create smoke-free environment for the child

That's what doctors recommend:

* Do not smoke at home and in the car. Do not allow others to do so.
* Ask others not to smoke near your baby.
* Until you quit, do it on the street. Even if you open the window or go into another room for a child that is not enough.
* Teach your child to stay away from smokers and smoke.
* Make sure that the school (or other institution where the child spends time) do not smoke.
