Best Answer

Secondhand smoke is terrible for anyone, and even more so for a baby or young child. SIS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) has ties to secondhand smoke. Asthma and allergy development have ties to exposure to secondhand smoke. As a baby's lungs are developing, exposure to the carcinogens in secondhand smoke can lead to serious health consequences.
