Protecting children from breathing in second-hand smoke
Breathing in second-hand smoke increases a non-smokers risk of lung cancer by 24% and heart disease by 25%. Second hand smoke makes the blood more sticky, meaning there is an increased risk of blood clots forming which cause arteries being blocked, heart attacks, strokes and even complete heart failure.
For children cot death is twice as likely to occur in babies whose mothers smoke. Exposure to second-hand smoke increases the risk of children developing asthma and asthma attacks as well as other respiratory infection. Babies and children who are exposed to second-hand smoke are more likely to get coughs and colds as well as middle ear disease which can cause deafness.
