Children have the same level of vulnerability to secondhand smoke as adults.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children are more vulnerable to the effects of secondhand smoke than adults because their lungs and airways are still developing. They are also more likely to be exposed to secondhand smoke at home or in other settings where adults smoke. This increased exposure can lead to a higher risk of respiratory illnesses, such as asthma and bronchitis, as well as ear infections and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
