Abstract
Although much information is available about the harmful effects of smoking and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), many children are in contact with ETS in their home every day. Health effects related to ETS vary from minor nasal irritation to an increased susceptibility to sudden infant death syndrome. ETS can also cause future health problems as exposed children become adults. Assessment of ETS exposure is an essential component of a patient's health history, and parents should be educated about the harmful effects of ETS and how to protect young children from it. Strategies for prevention of ETS exposure must be pursued to ensure improved health outcomes for all children. J Pediatr Health Care. (2001). 15, 280-286.
