Harmful secondhand tobacco smoke remains more widespread than most people think, experts say, and exposure is particularly high for children, Black adults and people living below the poverty line.
One of the biggest hurdles is smokers often underestimate the levels of exposure and the effects on nonsmokers lungs, hearts and brains. There s denial among the smokers that they don t smoke around children, they don t smoke in the house, they don t smoke in the car, said Dr. Geetha Raghuveer, a pediatric cardiologist at Children s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. But that may not be something they can execute all the time.
