I have a3monthold baby, i don't breastfeed him, i'm a smoker, i never smoke at home, i wash my hands and brush my mouth before contact him, still danger?

Risk: ...Not necessarily danger. You are doing a nice job reducing his exposure. Your best job would be to quit all together as you know. Smoke gets in your clothes and hair as well so there is that little exposure. I am glad you are so concerned and doing your best to reduce exposure....
