2)Identify two of the negative physical effects of secondhand smoke exposure on children?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

1)
lung cancer
cardiovascular diseases

2)
cancer
respiratoy diseases

Answer 2

Negative Physical Effects of Secondhand smoking:
- A known risk factor for lung cancer
- Also linked to nasal sinus cancer

Secondhand smoke is also associated with the following noncancerous conditions:
- Chronic coughing, phlegm, and wheezing
- Chest discomfort
- Lowered lung function
- Severe lower respiratory tract infections, such as bronchitis
or pneumonia, in children
- More severe asthma and increased chance of developing
asthma in children
- Eye and nose irritation
- Severe and chronic heart disease
- Middle ear infections in children
- Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
- Low birthweight or small size at birth for babies of women
exposed to secondhand smoke during pregnancy
- Mothers who smoke are also more likely to have a
premature baby

Answer 3

1) Some negative affects are Emphysema and you will always be couching( coughing up phlegm). You will usually be out of breath.

2) Children will be able to get sicker faster(common cold, flu, etc.) and the kids will also have a higher chance of developing respiratory problems when they're older.

Good luck with the homework!

Answer 4

------------- The Largest study on Second Hand Smoke ever done by Enstrom
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/326/7398/1057
“No significant associations were found for current or former exposure to environmental tobacco smoke before or after adjusting for seven confounders and before or after excluding participants with pre-existing disease. No significant associations were found during the shorter follow up periods of 1960-5, 1966-72, 1973-85, and 1973-98.”

“Enstrom has defended the accuracy of his study against what he terms ‘illegitimate criticism by those who have attempted to suppress and discredit it.’". (Wikipedia)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2164936/?tool=pmcentrez

------ Court rules that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is NOT a Class A carcinogen
http://www.tobacco.org/Documents/980717osteen.html
“There is evidence in the record supporting the accusation that EPA ‘cherry picked’ its data” … “EPA's excluding nearly half of the available studies directly conflicts with EPA's purported purpose for analyzing the epidemiological studies and conflicts with EPA's Risk Assessment Guidelines” (p. 72)

-------- OSHA will NOT regulate something that’s NOT hazardous
http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=24602
“Air contaminants, limits employee exposure to several of the main chemical components found in tobacco smoke. In normal situations, exposures would not exceed these permissible exposure limits (PELs), and, as a matter of prosecutorial discretion, OSHA will not apply the General Duty Clause to ETS.”

Study about health & Smoking Bans – The National Bureau of Economic Research
http://www.nber.org/papers/w14790
“Workplace bans are not associated with statistically significant short-term declines in mortality or hospital admissions for myocardial infarction or other diseases.”

http://www.cigarmony.com/downloads/smoking%201440.pdf
“Conclusions: Our results indicate no association between childhood exposure to ETS(environmental tobacco smoke) and lung cancer risk.”

Showtime television, "How the EPA, CDC, Lung Association, and etc." support their claims.

US National Cancer Institute researcher explains the frauds involved in secondhand smoke media reports.

Then the US Surgeon General went over all the studies to date in 2006 again and even though he went on public TV and announced "No safe level", the report itself showed exactly the opposite.
---The evidence is … not sufficient to infer a causal relationship between exposure to secondhand smoke and an increased risk of stroke. (p. 13)
---The evidence is … not sufficient to infer a causal relationship between secondhand smoke exposure from parental smoking and the onset of childhood asthma.(p. 13)
---The evidence is inadequate to infer the presence or absence of a causal relationship between exposure to secondhand smoke during infancy and childhood cancer.(p. 11)
