Pangasinan Health Officer Warns Against Thirdhand Smoke
LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – A provincial health officer warned that babies and toddlers face health risks from thirdhand smoke, which includes the lingering smell of smoke on clothes, skin, and hair.
“Masama sa kalusugan ng mga bata kasi wala silang immunity sa smoke na yon. Kung paulit-ulit ang pangyayari, ito ang dahilan kung bakit ang bata ay laging may ashma, o may bronchitis, o bronchoneumonia dahil mas risk factor sa bahay,” Provincial Health Officer Anna de Guzman said.
