How does smoking affect children?

Answer 1

It affects them the same way it affects the person smoking. I am foster caring for a 10mo old baby who was the victim of 5 chain smokers in his house, a month later he still coughs like someone who has smoked for 30 years. Answer: I think smoking is more harmful to children than adults. When my parents were chain-smokers, I often got a sore throat, stuffed up nose, etc. My sister and I had more colds,etc. than my parents. On smog-alert days in Canada, residents, particularly children and elderly, are advised to stay indoors. So if governments are so concerned about protecting nonsmokers from secondhand smoke, why are parents allowed to smoke in their homes and cars with children present?

Answer 2

Analyse the two words and you will get the answer. Teenage = adjective relating to persons in their teen years (13 to 19) Smoking = verbal noun relating to the action of taking smoke from lighted tobacco leaves into the mouth. Many people would disapprove of teenage smoking; many people would disapprove of anyone smoking.

Answer 3

Most of the people addicted to nicotine developed the habit before they were 21. The effects of smoking on children are not much more severe than on adults. The difference is that they have a longer period of time to develop symptoms and disease. Smoking reduces the lung's ability to oxygenate the blood. Thus children who smoke would tend to be slightly more sedentary than those who do not. This effect is offset in part by the similarity of nicotine's behavioral effects to caffeine.
