Define serious: Most moms are frustrated by any preventable illness in their kid.Second hand smoke doubles the frequency of ear infections and respiratory infections. If they have a special sensitivity caused by allergy or asthma, it can trigger these events also.By second hand you must also consider the lingering smell of smoke on clothing or hair as an exposure.
