Study: Secondhand Smoke Poses Serious Health Risks to Children

Imagine tiny lungs trying to breathe in smoky air.

That's what happens when kids are around secondhand smoke.

Studies show this smoke makes kids sick, causing breathing problems and other health issues.

Many children worldwide are exposed to this.

Even though things have slightly improved since 1990, more kids are still getting sick.

Experts say we need rules to make sure people don't smoke near kids, like smoking outside, or away from open windows and doors.

It is very important for people to understand the risks of SHS to help protect children's health.
