Yes: Children should not be in second hand smoke. Asthma is triggered as well as other chronic lung conditions/diseases. This will place them at risk (if prolonged) for cancer, COPD and risk for recurrent uri's, lower respiratory infections, ear infections and general poor health. Even smok in clothing, furniture, drapes and such is unhealthy for the child.
