Smoke in the environment of a child can cause respiratory infections, such as throat, ear, sinus, bronchial and lung infections. It also can cause allergy symptoms of the nose and sinuses and Asthma from bronchial irritation. Chronic exposure over a long period could predispose that child to develop lung cancer later in life, or other cancers, mostly of the respiratory system. It may also decrease the child's appetite and hinder weight gain and development.
