Secondhand smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals, at least 70 of which cause cancer. The people you love are breathing this every time you smoke near them — even outdoors.
Children
Kids exposed to secondhand smoke have higher rates of asthma, ear infections, respiratory infections, and SIDS. Their developing lungs are especially vulnerable. Children of smokers miss more school days and have more doctor visits.
Partners
Non-smoking spouses of smokers have a 20-30% higher risk of lung cancer. They also report lower quality of life from the smell, the health anxiety, and the constant worry about losing their partner.
Pets
Dogs and cats exposed to secondhand smoke have higher rates of lung cancer, lymphoma, and nasal tumors. They can't leave the room when you light up.
The Invisible Problem: Thirdhand Smoke
Even when you smoke outside, chemicals cling to your clothes, hair, skin, and furniture. This "thirdhand smoke" is especially dangerous for babies and toddlers who crawl on floors and put things in their mouths.
When You Quit
Within days of quitting, the air quality in your home measurably improves. Your kids' respiratory symptoms decrease. Your partner stops worrying. Your clothes stop smelling. The people around you notice even when they don't say it.
You're not just quitting for yourself. You're quitting for everyone who breathes around you.
