  8. ETS Effects on Children • Respiratory Problems • Coughing, phlegm, reduced lung function • Children Exposed • Increased risk of SIDS • Acute Respiratory Infections • Ear Problems • More Severe Asthma • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2007). Children and Secondhand Exposure. Retrieved from http://www.cdc.gov/features/childrenandsmoke/

  10. Children and ETS Statistics • Approximately 50-75% of children in the United States have detectable levels of cotinine, the breakdown product of nicotine, in the blood • In the United States 35% of children live in homes where residents or visitors smoke in the home on a regular basis • Almost 60% of U.S. children age 3-11 years- are exposed to SHS • SHS is responsible for between 150,000-300,000 lower respiratory tract infections in children under the age of 18 months Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2007). Children and Secondhand Exposure. Retrieved from http://www.cdc.gov/features/childrenandsmoke/

  12. Intervention Makes a Difference • A woman is more likely to quit smoking during pregnancy • Smoking cessation intervention by clinicians improves quit rates • Brief counseling (5 to 15 minutes total) • Follow-up is essential to ensure abstinence • Mullen, P. (1999). Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy and Evidence-based Intervention to Promote Cessation. Primary Care, 26(3):577–589.

  13. Why intervene now? • Pregnancy is a good time to intervene • Brief counseling works better than advice to quit • Counseling offered by a trained clinician can improve cessation rates by 30% to 70% • Intervention works best for moderate users (<20 cigarettes/day) smokers • Melvin, C., Dolan-Mullen, P., Windsor, R., Whiteside, Jr., H., and Goldenberg, R. (2000). Recommended Cessation Counseling for Pregnant Women Who Smoke: A Review of the Evidence. Tobacco Control, 3, 80–84.

  14. Summary • Environmental tobacco smoke has detrimental effects on children’s health • Tobacco cessation intervention is an important part in reducing SHS exposure • Role of current and future health professionals
