A member asked:
Could secondhand smoke cause someone to want to smoke later in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on variables: An impressionable child might decide it looks cool or normal to smoke, and that visual, not the smoke might induce someone to smoke. I can't buy into the idea that living around 2nd hand smoke alters you physically and makes you want to smoke.
