Secondhand Smoke Exposure Linked to Agressive Behavior in Kids

Science Daily, May 2013


ARTICLE SUMMARY:
In case you needed another reason to stop smoking; a specific link has been made between children's exposure to second hand smoke during early childhood and physical aggression and antisocial behavior. Whats even more interesting is the study ruled out parents being anti-social as a cause, or smoking during pregnancy. As a child's brain is still developing during early childhood, and second hand smoke proves to be even more dangerous than first hand smoke--even temporary exposure caused changes in behavior. It is reported 40% of children are exposed to secondhand smoke worldwide.
