Campaign launches to reduce tobacco smoke exposure for children in cars

Despite the general awareness that smoking is unhealthy, about 40 percent of children are still exposed to secondhand smoke, says a recent CDC study. In an effort to combat the negative side effects of secondhand and thirdhand smoke, the Consortium for Infant and Child Health at EVMS has launched a campaign to encourage parents and caregivers to provide smoke-free car rides for children. (Thirdhand smoke refers to the tobacco-smoke toxins left on car seats and interiors even when no one is actively smoking. These toxins, like secondhand smoke, are known to cause health problems.)
