Children and Secondhand Smoke
19-month old visits Grandpa's house; "as soon as we left, he began wheezing. That night he
had a high fever and could barely breathe." Taken to the emergency room, he was diagnosed and
admitted with pneumonia. What happened? At Grandpa's he was exposed to secondhand smoke.
Unusual? Sadly, no. Each year, secondhand smoke causes up to 300,000 respiratory tract infections
such as pneumonia in infants and young children.
