Children

As a smoker, you may be concerned about the effects of smoking on the health of your children or grandchildren. Children are affected in many ways by smoking, passive smoking, and also by smoking themselves at a young age. Despite all the information about the dangers of smoking, young children are still taking up the habit . By 15 years old, one in four children in the UK are regular smokers.

 

Children become aware of cigarettes at an early age. Three out of four children are aware of cigarettes before they reach the age of 5 whether the parents smoke or not. By the age of 11, one-third of children, and by 16 years two-thirds of children have experimented with smoking. In Great Britain about 450 children start smoking every day. Large regional studies of children's smoking habits during the 1960s and 1970s showed that more boys smoked than girls and that boys started earlier.

 

Children who smoke are two to six times more suscept-ible to coughs and increased phlegm, wheeziness and shortness of breath than those who do not smoke. One study revealed that children who smoke are three times more likely to have time off school.

 

If you are keen to learn how to encourage someone to quit smoking the earlier children become regular smokers and persist in the habit as adults, the greater the risk of dying prematurely. A recent US study found that smoking during the teenage years causes permanent genetic changes in the lungs and forever increases the risk of lung cancer, even if the smoker subsequently stops.

 

Children are also more susceptible to the effects of passive smoking. Nicotine levels found in the saliva of children whose parents smoke indicate that in households where both parents smoke, the children are receiving a nicotine equivalent of smoking 80 cigarettes a year.

 

Bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma and other chronic respiratory illnesses are significantly more common in infants and children who have one or two smoking parents.

 

If you would like to know how to encourage someone to quit smoking, it's helpful to know that children of parents who smoke during the child's early life run a higher risk of cancer in adulthood and the larger the number of smokers in a household, the greater the cancer risk to non-smokers in the family.
