Each decade, each year we learn more about what is healthy and what is hazardous. We've learned about the risks of direct smoking and then second-hand smoke. Now there's information about third-hand smoke ~ the toxic residue left on clothes, skin, hair, furniture, floor, walls, etc., after the cigarette has long been extinguished. This is harmful to all especially those that are still growing & developing, kids!
"Children's immature immune systems may mistake components of smoke for dangerous germs and attack them, beginning the inflammatory process that ends in bronchitis or asthma. Other components may interfere with development of the nervous system. Plus, babies who are crawling and mouthing things have a higher risk of exposure."
Please read this article Third-hand Smoke and Babies and share it with others to protect yourself, your kids, and all those that you love.
