Second Hand Smoke still bad

A second look shows Second hand smoke is still really bad.

From CNN:
" A new international study of more than 20,000 children confirms that exposure to cigarette smoke before and after birth impairs their lung function and that parental smoking remains a serious public health issue.

The effects of smoking during pregnancy last up to age 12, while exposure to cigarette smoking after birth further worsens lung function, Dr. Manfred A. Neuberger of the Medical University in Vienna, Austria, one of the study's authors, told Reuters."

I can not stress enough, PLEASE DO NOT SMOKE!
