Family
“
Second-hand smoke hurts
everyone. But it is very
dangerous to young children, like
your brothers, sisters, and cousins.
”
Protecting family
Second-hand smoke is especially harmful to
little ones because their lungs are still growing
and developing.
Protecting family
Babies and children breathe more quickly, which
means they can breathe in more smoke.
Protecting family
The bodies of babies
and children are
smaller and weaker,
so things like secondhand smoke can cause
ear infections and lung
infections.
Pets
Protecting pets
Second-hand smoke can seriously harm cats
and dogs and possibly give them cancer.
Smoke particles can also
get trapped in their fur
which they then eat when
they lick their fur with
their tongues.

1 Go smoke-free
Establish a smoking area outside your home.
Protect the environment by setting up a safe way
to dispose of your butts.
Clean house. Give your whole home and car a
good clean. Get rid of the smoky smell by
sprinkling baking soda on carpets and upholstery,
then vacuuming it up in the morning. Use a cup
of vinegar in a bucket of warm water with two
tablespoons of dish soap to wash your walls.
Let the house breathe. If the weather allows it, open all
your doors and windows and let the house air out.
Load up the laundry. Wash all your clothes, blankets, and
furniture covers in the washing machine. In addition to
laundry soap, use a cup of white vinegar to get rid of the
smoke smell.
