Impact Of Parental Smoking On Children
Impact of smoker to non-smokers (passive smoking) has long been known. But the dangers of parental smoking on children’s health is only now emerging. From research conducted by Dr. Paolo Vineis disejumlah European countries found that children had the greatest impact.
That’s three times the lung cancer and other respiratory problems associated with smoking parents.
Dr. Paolo Vines is a professor at Imperial College London (United Kingdom). For nearly seven years, Dr. Paolo done research on 123,000 people from 10 European countries that are known to smoke.
The risk of children affected by lung cancer has increased to 3.6 times that of smokers because the parents of these children have become a passive smoker.
This number will be higher than the risk of smokers who have withdrawn from smoking. In the United States 1900-2700 is suspected of death among newborns called secondhand smoke.
Dr. Norman Edelman gives another idea that the case should be advised not to smoke with topics covered in smoke.
