What are the most common illnesses found in the children of smokers?
When you smoke in the presence of your children, especially in small rooms or automobiles, and where the concentration of the smoke doesn't have a chance to disperse, those episodes increase the toxic effect in the airways of children, much greater than if it was outdoors, or not in their environment at all, or if they just weren't there during the active time when cigarette smoke was being created. The diseases that a paediatrician will see in children of smokers is airway disease, meaning nasal airways, oral airways, throat, tonsillitis's, asthma, and lung disease. Those are the most common disorders that will be at a higher level in children of parents who smoke and parents who smoke never in the presence of their children, or parents who do not smoke.
