A member asked:
Can cigar smoke harm a baby more so than the average cigarette smoke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Essentially the same: Cigar or cigarette smoke promote the same increase in respiratory disease/ear infections, etc. Other odor producing agents like cleaning materials are irritating but have less residual effect on baby over time. Perfume/carpet cleaner/candles/wood stoves or fire places have variable effect.
