Protecting Children from Secondhand Smoke (September 2008)
Since the implementation of the law banning smoking in workplaces and enclosed public places, most adults no longer have to breathe other people's tobacco smoke. But children receive little protection. In fact, around five million children in UK households are regularly exposed to the harmful toxins in secondhand smoke. To help raise awareness, the Faculty of Public Health (FPH) and ASH have published a position statement which summarises the health impact of secondhand smoke on children, and an information leaflet for parents and carers. The FPH have also produced an information poster for display.
