The risk of these problems is dramatically reduced as soon as the child is no longer breathing in second hand smoke, Cigarette smoke contains around 4000 chemicals, including ingredients of ant poison, rocket fuel and floor cleaner. These spread from the end of a cigarette around the room and house, even if the windows are open. Because of this, many people no longer smoke in their homes and ask visitors to go outside for a cigarette.
