Secondhand smoke contains more than 4,000 toxic chemicals.
The particles are so tiny, 85% of them are invisible and odourless.
Children are more vulnerable to secondhand smoke because they have smaller airways, breathe faster, and their immune systems are still developing.
Children exposed to secondhand smoke are more at risk of coughs, colds, ear infections and chest infections.
Smoking in a vehicle with anyone under the age of 18 is now illegal and you can be fined £100.
When you smoke indoors your secondhand smoke lingers in the air. You can't see or smell it, but it's there.
The harmful chemicals creep from room to room for up to 5 hours, waiting for your child to breathe them in - even with the windows open and doors closed.
