Healthy Child Don't Smoke Around Your Child. This smoke is a combination of the smoke that is given off by the burning tobacco and smoke that is exhaled by the smoker.
Involuntary smoking is just as harmful as direct smoking.
When a mother smokes during pregnancy her body passes the harmful chemicals along to her unborn baby. When a parent smokes around a child, that child is exposed to ETS and all its health risks. ETS is Harmful. A pregnant woman who smokes runs a higher risk of giving birth prematurely or of having a baby who is not fully developed. Pregnant women who are forced to be involuntary smokers and their babies can suffer the same effects as a pregnant woman who smokes.
