Protect babies and children from breathing in other people’s cigarette smoke (second hand smoke). Second hand smoke cause illness including asthma, heart disease and cancer. Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals including ingredients of ant poison, rocket fuel and floor cleaner. These spread around the room and house even if the windows are open and you can’t see any smoke. Babies and children are most at risk from second hand smoke. If you smoke around your children, they can breathe in the equivalent of 150 cigarettes per year.

Many people are choosing to make babies and children safe by taking 7 steps outside away from the door to smoke – and asking their visitors to do the same. Keep your home smoke free to protect your babies, children, adults and pets.
