Passive smoking is especially harmful for children as they have less well-developed airways, lungs and immune systems.

It’s estimated that more than one in five children in the UK live in a household where at least one person smokes and, as a result, they’re more likely to develop:

• asthma
• chest infections – like pneumonia and bronchitis
• meningitis
• ear infections
• coughs and colds

What to do:

• always smoke outside
• ask your visitors to smoke outside
• don’t smoke in the car or allow anyone else to
