More than 17,000 children under the age of five end up in hospital every year because of the detrimental effects of passive smoking.
Children learn by imitation. Therefore they're far more likely to smoke if their parents do. In the United Kingdom about 450 children start smoking every day and more than 80% of smokers began their habit during their teenage years.
CIgarettes cause 44% of house fires and the casualties are very often children, trapped upstairs, overcome by smoke, unable to escape or be rescued by their desperate parents below.
