The Mini Page interviewed Dr. Robert Fink to clarify smoking’s health impact. He notes about 240 million Americans with 40 million former smokers and 54 million who still smoke, and urges prevention and cessation.
Secondhand smoke around children raises risks of runny noses coughs sore throats and colds. Asthma affects about one in ten kids and attacks worsen when exposed to smoke making breathing harder and chest tight.
Dr. Robert Fink chairs pulmonary medicine at Children’s Hospital National Medical Center in Washington DC and serves as president of the D C chapter of the American Thoracic Society.
The piece explains how smoking harms the lungs and heart. Tiny hairs in the lungs die from smoke, reducing ability to clear mucus.
