No.......I'm not going to tell you that smoking is bad for you......you already know that!!
You also know that secondhand smoke is bad for others.
BUT....I think there might be a few things you don't know yet!!
"I only smoke outside"............
A recent American study found that the children of parents who smoke outside are still exposed to the harmful effects of passive smoking. These children had eight times more nicotine in their bodies than those whose parents didn't smoke.
Long-term exposure to secondhand smoke has been linked to asthma, heart disease, lung cancer, infertility, impotence and tooth decay.
Wow - infertility!! and it's not the first time I've come across this type of research...In another study it was shown that daughters who were exposed to secondhand smoke when little had an increased risk for having miscarriages later is life!!
Do you really want to do that to your children????
Just wondering!!
