The slogan “Smoking is bad for your health” is clearly visible on every cigarette pack, but despite this, the smoking population is still huge. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 25% of babies between the ages of 3 and 11 have at least one smoker in their family. Some parents believe that a little sniffing should not be a big problem, as long as they are not in a long-term smoking environment, there is no estimated harm to their babies. Is this really the case? According to a report on surgical medicine released in 2006, exposure to tobacco is risky. One study showed that when smoking a cigarette in a bedroom with the door closed, it took 2 hours for the number of particles in the air to fall below the harmful threshold. The World Health Organization states, “Chronic smokers surrounded by nonsmokers in a smoke-filled room for 1 hour are equivalent to smoking a single cigarette.” Pregnant women who smoke or passively smoke are a direct threat to the health of their newborns. In addition to miscarriages, the incidence of premature births and low birth weight newborns increases dramatically. After the baby is born, the environment of both secondhand and thirdhand smoke can affect the baby’s growth. By secondhand smoke, we mean smoke emitted from a lit cigarette, or smoke blown out of the mouth, or filtered by cigarettes, cigars and pipes. These fumes contain at least 45 carcinogenic compounds in addition to addictive nicotine. Do you know about third-hand smoke? Third-hand smoke is becoming better known to the public as a relatively new concept. This concept was introduced by the Harvard Cancer Center in 2009. The so-called third-hand smoke is the residue of certain harmful substances produced by smoking on clothes, furniture, hair, skin and other surfaces after the smoke is extinguished. Compared to first-hand smoke, second-hand smoke, third-hand smoke is more insidious and more harmful. Babies are more vulnerable to “third-hand smoke” because they inhale faster than adults, have poor immunity, and often eat their hands, and if there is third-hand smoke residue on their hands, it is easy to enter their bodies through their mouths. What is the harm of tobacco to babies? 1, many chemicals in smoke have been shown to cause cancer and other diseases, including respiratory infections, bronchitis and pneumonia; 2, babies exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to have ear infections and asthma; 3, some chemicals in cigarettes are inhaled by breastfeeding mothers and deposited in breast milk, which affects the baby; 4, nicotine also affects sleep, if the baby due to passive A French study showed that girls who inhaled excessive secondhand smoke as children were more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis when they grew up; 6, babies who inhaled secondhand smoke were significantly more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, lung disease and cataracts when they grew up. Quit smoking and give your child a smoke-free environment! Once the U.S. Department of Energy under the Berkeley Lawrence National Laboratory, researchers found: 18 hours after smoking, but also observed more than 50 kinds of volatile organic compounds and airborne particle levels. If this is the case, is it feasible to open windows for ventilation? Some smoke will drift out with open windows and ventilation, but there is no way to completely remove third-hand smoke residue on curtains and sofa covers. Wouldn’t it be better to use an air purifier? It is proven that air purifiers can only remove particulate pollutants from the air, and there is still no way to remove gaseous pollutants from smoke. The only solution is to quit smoking so that you can give your children a smoke-free environment. If you are a non-smoker, you can do this: 1. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your home; 2. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your car, even if the windows are rolled down; 3. Do not place ashtrays in your home; 4. For those who are watching your baby, tell them clearly not to smoke around your baby, and not to take your baby to places where there is smoking, and take your baby away as soon as possible when someone is smoking; 5; 5.When eating out, try to choose a non-smoking restaurant; 6.Make sure that the child care centers and schools your baby goes to are smoke-free environments; 7.Educate your older baby to stay away from second-hand smoke. For the sake of your own health and your baby’s health, parents should set an example and give your baby a smoke-free environment to grow up in.
