  are from smoking-related illnesses. Smoking
  greatly increases your risks for lung cancer and
  many other cancers
• Smoking harms not just the smoker, but also
  family members, coworkers and others who breathe
  the smoker's cigarette smoke, called secondhand
  smoke
• Secondhand smoke from a parent's cigarette
  increases a child's chances for middle ear
  problems, causes coughing and wheezing, and
  worsens asthma conditions

SMOKING FACTS!

• Smoking is an addiction. Tobacco smoke contains
  nicotine, a drug that is addictive and can make
  it very hard, but not impossible, to quit.
• Among infants to 18 months of age, secondhand
  smoke is associated with as many as 300,000 cases
  of bronchitis and pneumonia each year.
• If both parents smoke, a teenager is more than
  twice as likely to smoke than a young person
  whose parents are both non-smokers. In households
  where only one parent smokes, young people are
  also more likely to start smoking.
• Pregnant women who smoke are more likely to
  deliver babies whose weights are too low for the
  babies' good health. If all women quit smoking
  during pregnancy, about 4,000 new babies would
  not die each year.
