Myth: Children aren’t affected by secondhand smoke; it’s OK to smoke in the presence of your kids so long as you don’t blow the smoke in their face and open a window. The same goes for smoking around your pregnant partner.
Truth: Exposing a child to secondhand smoke is a form of child abuse. Although secondhand smoke is dangerous to everyone who comes in contact with it, fetuses, infants, and children are at greatest risk. This is because secondhand smoke can damage developing organs, such as lungs and brain.
