Ban smoking in the home?

Ban smoking in the home?

New research suggests that passive smoking makes children more vulnerable to serious infections that lead to diseases such as meningitis. There is also evidence that nine out of 10 cases of cot death could be linked to mothers who smoked during pregnancy. So is it time to ban smoking in the home for the sake of our children's health?

    Well done Carlie I gave up in October last year and I have to say I don't miss it at all. I went on Saturday night with my best mate who smokes and the only thing that bothered me was being left on my own 10 times during the night!
