Even 30 minutes of
secondhand smoke exposure
daily can cause heart damage similar to that
of a habitual smoker.
SECONDHAND SMOKE KILLS


People who are exposed to daily secondhand smoke have a 30% higher death and disease rate than that of non-smokers.


Secondhand smoke is the third leading cause of preventable death in this country, behind smoking and alcohol/drug abuse.


It is estimated that secondhand smoke causes 3,000 lung cancer deaths and more than 50,000 coronary heart disease deaths every year.


Secondhand smoke is also associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and unhealthy (lower birth weight) infants. Smoking by mothers is linked to a higher risk of their babies developing asthma in childhood.


Babies and children raised in a household where there is smoking have more ear infections, colds, bronchitis, and other respiratory problems than children from non-smoking families
