If official statistics are to be trusted, the state of California has less smokers than any other state in the U.S., except Missouri. Good for them, right? After all, it has been scientifically proved that smoking cheapest Marlboro cigarettes is hazardous for your health. But California still has a long way to go, because a recent study coming from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research estimates that nearly 2.5 million children in the state are exposed to secondhand smoke. That is, they live in homes where other people smoke inside, whether or not they're allowed to.
Exposure to secondhand smoke, by the way, is just as bad as if you were doing the smoking. For starters, it poses many of the same health hazards. Young children whose relatives smoke near them have a greater risk of being asthmatic or suffering from all sorts of respiratory illnesses.
