A new study published in Indoor Air: International Journal of Indoor Environment and Health has found that the more children are exposed to household tobacco smoke during early childhood, the more likely they are to show anti-social behaviour towards others. Professor Linda Pagani, who led the research project, suggests that the association “should encourage policy-makers and public health professionals to raise awareness among parents about the developmental risks of second-hand smoke exposure.”
