Banning Smoking At Home Protects Infants
Banning smoking in the home leads to a small but meaningful fall in infant exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, whereas less strict measures have no effect, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Parents from 314 households with young infants took part in the study. Parents were interviewed at home about their knowledge and use of harm reduction... view more... (2003-07-30)
