Effects of Secondhand Smoke

Being around secondhand smoke is harmful. It affects children, adults, and a mother's unborn child.

• Pregnant mothers who breathe in secondhand smoke are more likely to give birth to a low birthweight baby.
• Children who breathe in secondhand smoke are more likely to suffer from bronchitis, severe asthma, ear infections, pneumonia, and slow lung growth.
• An infant exposed to secondhand smoke is more likely to die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

It’s never too late to QUIT smoking for you and your baby. Quit Tobacco Today! Call the Alabama Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669).
