Tobacco smoke contains over 4000 chemicals When breathed out most of these chemicals end up in the air

as secondhand smoke Secondhand smoke is unsafe at any level Exposure to secondhand smoke causes heart

disease and lung cancer It can make asthma and other breathing problems worse and is especially dangerous

for babies and children If you smoke indoors the toxic chemicals from tobacco smoke will stick to the sur-

faces around you ndash even with the windows open These chemicals are known as thirdhand smoke Thirdhand

smoke gets on carpets furniture and many other surfaces and can remain for months Babies and children who

spend time on floors can then be exposed to harmful chemicals Health problems are a high price to pay for

someone elsersquos addiction Protect the health of your family and visitors by keeping your apartment smoke-free

THE RISKS OF SMOKING INDOORS

Smoking In The Home How Bad Is It Really

If you are a smoker you have probably been warned before donrsquot smoke near the children But if it only hap-

pens once in a while how harmful can it be If a family member or babysitter smokes in the house is it really

that dangerous The answer is probably worse that you think The bottom line there is no safe level of sec-

ondhand smoke Tobacco smoke contains over 4000 chemicals When breathed out most of them end up in

the air If you smoke indoors these chemicals will stick to the surfaces around you ndash even with the windows

open If children spend time in those places where someone smoked they can still breathe in those chemicals

Babies and young children are especially at risk of getting sick from secondhand smoke Children exposed to

smoke are more likely to suffer from ear infections asthma bronchitis pneumonia and other lung diseases

Lifelong health problems are a high price for a child to pay for someone elsersquos addiction Protect your childrsquos

health by making sure that all places where your child goes are smoke-free Ask others not to smoke in your

apartment To learn more or to get free help quitting smoking call 1-866-NY-QUITS or visit

as secondhand smoke Secondhand smoke is unsafe at any level Exposure to secondhand smoke causes heart

disease and lung cancer It can make asthma and other breathing problems worse and is especially dangerous

for babies and children If you smoke indoors the toxic chemicals from tobacco smoke will stick to the sur-

faces around you ndash even with the windows open These chemicals are known as thirdhand smoke Thirdhand

smoke gets on carpets furniture and many other surfaces and can remain for months Babies and children who

spend time on floors can then be exposed to harmful chemicals Health problems are a high price to pay for

THE RISKS OF SMOKING INDOORS

Smoking In The Home How Bad Is It Really

If you are a smoker you have probably been warned before donrsquot smoke near the children But if it only hap-

pens once in a while how harmful can it be If a family member or babysitter smokes in the house is it really

that dangerous The answer is probably worse that you think The bottom line there is no safe level of sec-

ondhand smoke Tobacco smoke contains over 4000 chemicals When breathed out most of them end up in

the air If you smoke indoors these chemicals will stick to the surfaces around you ndash even with the windows

open If children spend time in those places where someone smoked they can still breathe in those chemicals

Babies and young children are especially at risk of getting sick from secondhand smoke Children exposed to

smoke are more likely to suffer from ear infections asthma bronchitis pneumonia and other lung diseases

Lifelong health problems are a high price for a child to pay for someone elsersquos addiction Protect your childrsquos

Tobacco smoke contains over 4000 chemicals When breathed out most of these chemicals end up in the air

as secondhand smoke Secondhand smoke is unsafe at any level Exposure to secondhand smoke causes heart

disease and lung cancer It can make asthma and other breathing problems worse and is especially dangerous

for babies and children If you smoke indoors the toxic chemicals from tobacco smoke will stick to the sur-

faces around you ndash even with the windows open These chemicals are known as thirdhand smoke Thirdhand

smoke gets on carpets furniture and many other surfaces and can remain for months Babies and children who

spend time on floors can then be exposed to harmful chemicals Health problems are a high price to pay for

someone elsersquos addiction Protect the health of your family and visitors by keeping your apartment smoke-free

THE RISKS OF SMOKING INDOORS

Smoking In The Home How Bad Is It Really

If you are a smoker you have probably been warned before donrsquot smoke near the children But if it only hap-

pens once in a while how harmful can it be If a family member or babysitter smokes in the house is it really

that dangerous The answer is probably worse that you think The bottom line there is no safe level of sec-

ondhand smoke Tobacco smoke contains over 4000 chemicals When breathed out most of them end up in

the air If you smoke indoors these chemicals will stick to the surfaces around you ndash even with the windows

open If children spend time in those places where someone smoked they can still breathe in those chemicals

Babies and young children are especially at risk of getting sick from secondhand smoke Children exposed to

smoke are more likely to suffer from ear infections asthma bronchitis pneumonia and other lung diseases

Lifelong health problems are a high price for a child to pay for someone elsersquos addiction Protect your childrsquos

health by making sure that all places where your child goes are smoke-free Ask others not to smoke in your

apartment To learn more or to get free help quitting smoking call 1-866-NY-QUITS or visit
