What are the consequences of babies smelling cigarette smoke?

Some babies are usually taken care of by the elderly, and some elderly people have the habit of smoking for many years, so that the smell of smoke on their bodies and in their mouths can be smelled from a long distance. Some parents love smoking and have to take care of their babies all day long. We know that if babies are exposed to passive smoking for a long time, it will inevitably have adverse effects on their health. Babies whose parents or elders smoke are much more likely to suffer from bronchitis, bronchiolitis and pneumonia than other babies.

1. Babies are small in weight, so the same concentration of toxic substances can cause greater harm. Secondly, babies like to play with toys, crawl, bite things, etc., and are easily exposed to "third-hand smoke" remaining in the environment.

2. Infants and young children have fragile immune systems and are more likely to develop diseases after being exposed to these harmful substances. The most direct consequence is respiratory problems, such as acute trachea, bronchitis, asthma, etc.

3. Even if the content of smoke particles is very low, the baby may still experience symptoms of neurotoxicity after contact. In severe cases, it may affect the child's future reading ability, intellectual development, etc.

4. The smell of smoke will affect the baby's breathing and make it difficult for the baby to breathe. Cigarettes contain lead and nicotine. If the baby is exposed to smoke for a long time, it will passively cause excessive lead in the baby's body. Excessive lead will affect the baby's growth, blood, digestion, and nervous system.

It is difficult for babies to expel harmful substances inhaled into their bodies after being exposed to passive smoking. If parents smoke while their baby is eating, it can easily affect the baby's appetite. When the baby associates eating with smoking, anorexia may occur.

6. Middle ear diseases

Living in a smoky home environment increases the baby's likelihood of developing acute or chronic otitis media.

Ashtrays are an important source of "third-hand smoke" and should be cleaned frequently. Putting some Jingzhiwu air purifier tablets in the ashtray can effectively absorb harmful gases and particles, especially tar and nicotine attached to various surfaces of cloth, leather, furniture, carpets, walls, etc. in the room, providing the baby with a safe and clean air environment.
