Cigarette Smoke May Rob Children Of Needed Antioxidants

I am totally and utterly baffled how anyone can still smoke with so much evidence that it kills, but if you must, please do not do it near your children!

Cigarette Smoke May Rob Children Of Needed Antioxidants:
"A University of Rochester Medical Center study looked at the levels of antioxidants versus the amount of smoke exposure in more than 2,000 6 and 18 years old in the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The study, which was presented at the Pediatric Academic Society Meeting in Baltimore, shows that secondhand smoke exposure is associated with lower levels of antioxidants in children."
