Make your home smoke-free. Secondhand smoke is the smoke that comes from a cigarette or other tobacco that someone other than you is smoking.
Secondhand Smoke is Dangerous
Everyone knows that smoking is bad for smokers, but did you know—
• Breathing smoke from someone else’s cigarette, pipe, or cigar can make you andyour children sick.
• Smoking inside a home or car is more dangerous because smoke gets trapped inside—even fans and open windows don’t help.
• Children who live in homes where people smoke get sick more often with coughs, breathing problems such as asthma, and ear infections.
• Secondhand smoke is also linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
• Secondhand smoke can cause lung cancer in adults and is also bad for the heart.
Protect Your Family
• Make your home and car smoke-free.
• Family, friends, and visitors should never smoke inside.
• If you smoke, smoke only outside.
• Ask your doctor for ways to help you stop smoking.
Remember
Keeping a smoke-free home can help improve your health, the health of your children, and your community.
