Most folks recognize cigarette smoking is the largest preventable cause of death in the United States. Specifically, smoking contributes to roughly 450,000 deaths each year. Explicit warnings on tobacco products include death as a possible risk.<\/p>\n

Smoking is regarded as an individual choice, but tobacco poses a risk to the families of smokers, not just the smokers themselves. Over recent years, awareness of second hand smoke hazards has increased. Medical research shows children living with a smoker suffer greater respiratory complications like asthma and respiratory infection. The offspring of mothers who smoke during pregnancy have a higher percentage of children with lower birth weights and behavioral problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.<\/p>
