小宝: Brother, why do adults always say people shouldn’t smoke at home?
小刚: Because smoke doesn’t only harm the person smoking; it also harms family members. This is called secondhand smoke.
小宝: Can secondhand smoke also make people sick?
小刚: Yes. There was a 13-year-old girl who developed a very serious illness because her father often smoked at home.
小宝: What? That’s so scary! Is it okay if we open the windows?
小刚: No. Substances from smoke can stay in the air and on furniture. This is called thirdhand smoke, and it’s also very dangerous.
小宝: Are children more likely to get sick, then?
小刚: Yes. That’s why many places in China now promote smoke-free homes. It’s a way to protect family members.
