Smoking Outside House Can Harm Baby's Health

My hubby is a smoker. I've been telling him to quit smoking, or at least do not approach our baby after smoking before he showers. But little of what I've been telling him goes into his mind.

I've read from What to Expect book, that even when parent(s) who do not smoke near the baby can actually harm the baby's health. It can cause damage to lungs for up to 70%.

And today I came across reading this article that supports what I read before. The article mentioned that even when smokers have finished a cigarette outside, they are still breathing out smoke when they enter the house, contaminating the air. Nicotine also attaches to the hair and body, while other particles also attach to the clothes.

So, the combination of exhaled smoke, nicotine and other particles, pollute the otherwise clean air and results in the child breathing in these poisonous substances.

So if you smoke and you think it's safe by not smoking near your baby, think again!
