    Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the end of a cigarette and the smoke exhaled by the person smoking.  The Environmental Protection Agency classifies secondhand smoke as a Group A carcinogen, which means it causes cancer in humans.
    Secondhand smoke is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States, killing 53,000 people per year.  Health risks of secondhand smoke include lung cancer, heart disease, colds and coughs, and reduced lung function.  Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of secondhand smoke.  They may suffer from ear infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and asthma.  Recent studies also reveal more learning problems in children exposed to secondhand smoke than children living in smoke-free homes. Join Heather Kerr for this information presentation.
