Topic - Kids can still be exposed to nicotine even if you don’t smoke
The only way to keep your child from being exposed to nicotine is for you to stop smoking. Even if you don’t smoke in the home or around your child, the nicotine still shows up on their skin and in their saliva, suggesting that it has traveled throughout their bodies. How does that happen? By touching you and things in their environment. You may think that they can’t get that much into their bodies to cause a problem, but you’d be wrong. This kind of exposure causes them to have worse asthma problems, sore throats, runny noses and ear infections. The ear infections alone could mean the development of language processing disorders and hearing loss which impact educational and social development. Poor health leads to absenteeism and fewer opportunities to build relationships with other kids. Quit smoking and ban smoking from your home.
