Indoor Smoking Harm Children

(VG NETT 07.01.2009 kl. 19:55, Sist oppdatert 07.01.2009 kl. 19:58)


Toxic particles from cigarette smoke can sit in substance and in hair, and can represent a danger for
those who are near it. But few are aware of this danger, shows a survey was made among more than
1,500 households.























DO NOT SMOKE INDOOR!

Only about a quarter of those who
took part in the survey had strict
rules about not smoking indoors,
according to a report in the journal
Pediatrics.

There is much evidence that
passive smoking - that you inhaled
smoke from others cigarette smoke
- can be harmful, particularly for
children. This has led to more
parents never smoke when children
are nearby.

Professor Jonathan Winickoff of
Massachusetts General Hospital
said, according to BBC News, that
this does not provide complete
protection against the damage of
cigarette smoke.


SMALL CHILDREN ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE!

Toxic particles from cigarette smoke
can remain on the objects that
surround us, like the hair and
clothes, long after the cigarettes
are gone. Small children are
particularly vulnerable because
they often take on many different
objects and even silt and suck on
them.

Lactating mothers who smoke,
transfer also married to their
children through mother's milk,
according to Winickoff.

His research group undertook a
survey of more than 1500
households, and asked smokers
and non-smokers about their
attitudes to smoking.

The result was that while 95 percent
of non-smokers and 85 percent of
smokers agreed that direct
inhalation and passive smoking was
harmful to children.

There were only 65 percent of non-
smokers and 43 percent of smokers
who felt the same about smoking in
Rooms that children usually have to
stay in.

Only just fewer than 27 percent of
households, where it was included
a smoker, had strict rules not to
smoke inside.




THE RISK COMPLICATION:

According to Winickoff, there is a
real danger associated with
breathing or get in contact with
smoke particles from cigarette
smoke which has set itself in the
objects, in substance and in hair, is
harmful.

Regardless of where and when you
want to toxic smoke particles from
the smoke put themselves in the
hair and clothes, "he said to the
BBC.

Professor Andrew Shennan from the
British charity Tommy's Association
says that the results are of great
importance, especially for pregnant
women who have stopped
smoking, but that is in contact with
others who still do it.

It is vital that women are made
aware of this potential risk and
warns those around them about
how this may affect the child's
health, "he says and adds:
Chemicals in cigarettes are known
to increase the risk of serious
complications in pregnancy.

MORE YOUNG GIRLS SMOKE THAN BOYS

One of three girls and one of four boys in the tenth grade smoke daily or occasionally, according to a
survey from Public Health.























Among adults, it is a strong correlation between daily smoking, short education and low income. The same
picture also applies to youth. Daily smoking is more common among 15-16-year-olds who are planning
vocational education, has separated parents, or poor family economy. Public Health between 2000 and
2004 youth survey conducted in Oslo, Hedmark, Oppland, Nordland, Troms and Finnmark. 16,000 secondary
school students in 10 class participated in the survey.

USE OF CHANGE

During the last decade, tobacco use among young people has changed. Fewer young people and young
adults are daily smokers; in return, there are several that are snuff users and in-smokers. 34 percent of girls
and 26 percent of boys smoked either daily or intermittently. But snuff is far more common among boys than
girls. 21 percent of boys and 4 percent of girls used snuff either daily or intermittently.

MUSLIM BOYS SMOKE

Compared with women who have a Norwegian background, there is a significantly lower percentage of girls with
immigrant backgrounds who smokes. Among boys with immigrant backgrounds, there were a higher proportion of daily
smokers than among boys with parents. This is especially true for immigrant boys with Muslim cultural background,
according to the report. The results show that if one wants to reduce tobacco use among youth, efforts should be
primarily directed at young people who have chosen the vocational education area, and to youth at risk to cancel
school, "said senior adviser Liv Grtvedt by price.
