Effects of Secondhand Smoke

The dangers of smoking are well known.  The people who suffer from secondhand smoke are the victims in this saga.  More important and alarming is when pregnant women are exposed to secondhand smoke and the article below highlights the dangers of this.  Having been exposed to secondhand smoke when I was younger and now suffering from asthma, I am very concerned about the effect of passive smoking.   The first question I am always asked by doctors when I go with an ailment such as chest cold or cough is whether I ever smoked.  Luckily I never did.
