📍Protect Our Children: Smoke-Free Spaces Matter 👶👧🧒

Children’s bodies are still growing, and cigarette smoke can seriously harm their health—even if they aren’t the ones smoking.

❗ Smoking near children can:
• Damage their developing lungs
• Trigger asthma and breathing problems
• Increase ear infections and chest illnesses
• Raise the risk of sudden infant death (SIDS)
• Leave harmful chemicals on clothes and furniture (thirdhand smoke)

💙 There is no safe level of smoke exposure for children.

Let’s choose clean air and healthy futures.
If you smoke, please do so away from children and their environments.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT READ FOR EVERYONE...
Especially for pregnant women, new mothers, fathers, and caregivers.

There’s a common but dangerous belief that throwing a baby in the air, shaking them to calm down, or over-teasing them during play is harmless fun. But these actions can cause serious harm.

Let’s talk about something called Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS); a form of brain injury that happens when a baby or young child is violently shaken or their head is je**ed forcefully.

Actions that can lead to SBS include:
• Throwing a baby up “playfully”
• Shaking a baby out of frustration
• Playing roughly or teasing to the point of excessive vibration

Why it’s dangerous:
• A baby’s neck muscles are not strong enough to support their head
• Shaking causes the brain to move within the skull
• This can lead to brain bleeding, swelling, permanent damage, blindness, or even death.

If your baby won’t stop crying or you feel overwhelmed, it’s okay to gently place them in a safe spot and take a moment to breathe.
NEVER shake a baby, NOT even for a second.

And never allow anyone— no matter how well-meaning— to play rough or shake your baby to “calm” them.

Shaken Baby Syndrome is preventable. Protect the child.💙
