What is Secondhand Smoke?• Secondhand smoke is made up of
sidestream smoke (the smoke released from the burning end of a cigarette) and exhaled mainstream smoke (the smoke exhaled by the smoker).
• The 2006 Surgeon General’s Report calls secondhand smoke “involuntary” because most nonsmokers do not want to breathe tobacco smoke.

Asthma
• Secondhand smoke can trigger an asthma attack.
• Children with asthma who are around secondhand smoke have worse asthma attacks and attacks more often than children who are not exposed to secondhand smoke.

Bronchitis • Studies show older children whose
parents smoke get sick more often.• Like babies, their lungs develop more
slowly because of exposure to secondhand smoke.
• These children experience bronchitis more often than the children of nonsmokers.

Lung Cancer
• Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or at work increase their risk of developing lung cancer by 20–30 percent.

Heart Attack
• Breathing secondhand smoke for even a short time can have immediate adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.
It can:– Damage the lining of blood vessels– Cause blood platelets to stick together– Decrease coronary flow
All of which increase the risk of a heart attack.

Heart Attack
• Secondhand smoke causes heart attacks in people who do not smoke.
• Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or at work increase their risk of developing heart disease by 25-30 percent.

Chronic Cough
• Secondhand smoke exposure among school-age children causes respiratory symptoms including:
CoughingPhlegmWheezingBreathlessness

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
• SIDS is the sudden, unexplained, unexpected death of an infant under the age of one.
• Tobacco smoke harms babies before and after they are born.
• Babies whose mothers smoke during pregnancy AND babies who are exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome than babies who are not in these smoking environments.

Acute Respiratory Infections
The lungs of babies and children who are exposed to secondhand smoke develop more slowly.
These babies and children experience more respiratory infections than children of nonsmokers.

Increase in Ear Infections
Children whose parents smoke around them have more ear infections.
They also have fluid in their ears more often and have more operations to put in ear tubes for drainage.

Pneumonia
Studies show that older children whose parents smoke get sick more often.
Their lungs develop more slowlyand
they experience pneumonia more often than the children of
nonsmokers.

• Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemical compounds.
• Secondhand smoke contains many of the same chemicals that are present in the smoke inhaled by smokers.
• Secondhand smoke contains at least 250 chemicals that are known to be toxic or carcinogenic (cancer- causing).
![Page 15: What is Secondhand Smoke? Secondhand smoke is made up of sidestream smoke (the smoke released from the burning end of a cigarette) and exhaled mainstream](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dda5503460f94ad0a96/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Some of the chemicals present in secondhand smoke are known toxins.
• Since sidestream smoke is generated at lower temperatures and under different conditions than mainstream smoke, it contains higher concentrations of many of the toxins found in cigarette smoke inhaled by smokers.

Conclusions
Infants and small children are especially vulnerable to the poisons in secondhand smoke because their bodies are developing.
![Page 18: What is Secondhand Smoke? Secondhand smoke is made up of sidestream smoke (the smoke released from the burning end of a cigarette) and exhaled mainstream](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dda5503460f94ad0a96/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Conclusions • Babies whose mothers
smoke during pregnancy or who are exposed to secondhand smoke after birth have weaker lungs than other babies, which increases the risk for many health problems.
• These problems can continue as they get older and can even continue into adulthood.

Conclusions
The Surgeon General has concluded that there is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure. Even brief exposures can be harmful.

Unexpected Ways to be Exposed to Secondhand Smoke
• Riding in the car with someone who is smoking even if the window is down.
• Being in a home when someone is smoking even if you are not in the room with them.
• Working in a building, or warehouse where smoking is permitted even if there is a filter or ventilation system.

Is there such a thing as “third-hand” smoke?
![Page 23: What is Secondhand Smoke? Secondhand smoke is made up of sidestream smoke (the smoke released from the burning end of a cigarette) and exhaled mainstream](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dda5503460f94ad0a96/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Third-hand smoke includes the gases and small particles in
cigarette smoke that are deposited on every surface with which they
come in contact.
