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

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
