2. 3,000 nonsmoking adults die of diseases caused by exposure to second hand smoke every year.  At least 250 toxic chemicals, including more than 50 that can cause cancer 1

3.  Ages 6 - 8 With younger children, simply using words like “stinky” and “yucky” when you see people smoking on television can help reinforce the message that you do not approve of smoking. This type of nonobtrusive communication is an effective way to turn the image of “smoking is cool” into “smoking is yucky.” Children's lungs function less efficiently. Likewise, their immune system becomes less strong and protective than that of young adults  Another cigarette smoking effect on children is the inability of the child's body to develop fully; his height and weight development is adversely affected. The child exposed to cigarette smoking has a great tendency to not fully achieve his over-all physical and intellectual development. Babies whose mothers smoke during their pregnancy are born with a deficiency in height and weight.

8.  In U.S. children aged 18 months or younger, secondhand smoke exposure is responsible for an estimated—  150,000–300,000 new cases of bronchitis and pneumonia each year  7,500–15,000 hospitalizations annually
