Do You Protect Your Children From Your Cigarette Smoke

If you are a cigarette smoker and you have children, do you take the precautions necessary to protect them from your deadly habit? If you are not, you are doing your children a grave injustice by smoking around them. Do you not realize that when you smoke in the room or in the car with them that they are inhaling almost as much of the smoke as you are? If you caught your three or four year old trying to light a cigarette, you would probably be mortified that they are picking up this habit from you first of all, then you would hate to think they will smoke when they get older because of their health. When you smoke around them, you are already damaging their health.

Children who live in the home with cigarette smokers are much more likely to develop respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, and have a more difficult time overcoming ailments like the cold or flu. Have you noticed your kids seem to get sick with these kind of issues more often than others? It could very well be contributed to your secondhand smoke. Every smoker should know by now that smoking around children is intolerable even if it is in your own home. If you love your children and you probably do, this is one habit that you are going to have to break.

It does not matter what you have to do, you must not smoke in close proximity to your kids. Even when you smoke in the home while they are not there, when they return, the smoke smell and residue will still be everywhere. The things they touch will have a sticky tar film. It is not a healthy environment for a child to live in a home where there is smoking going on. It is up to you as an adult and especially as a parent to protect your children. There are plenty enough of things in the world that can harm them without the harm coming directly from you.

Learn to smoke outside to keep the smell, smoke, and residue out of your home and away from your kids. Do not smoke in the car even if they are not with you. You might be surprised how easy it can be just to make these two changes in your smoking habit. In the long run you will not just be saving the health of your children, but it will not be bad for your health either.
