Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?
Smokers sometimes think that it is ok if you do not smoke around your children. However, they must take into account the fact that the smoke seeps into your hair, facial hair, clothing and in fabrics throughout your car or home. So unless your kids don't ever go in your car or unless you take a shower and change your clothes before having contact with your child, especially newborns, then yes their health can be effected. It may not be a sudden change but the smoke and nicotine is still there on your hands, in your hair and on your clothing. If you take proper precautions then by all means go ahead, but saying you don't smoke around your kids is not good enough.
