Secondhand Smoke Media Campaign
Did you know that tobacco smoke contains more than 250 deadly poisons, including lead, benzene, arsenic, cyanide, carbon monoxide, and nickel?
In January 2010, DCTFF launched a media campaign to show you exactly what you’re inhaling when you, or
someone near you, lights a tobacco product. This campaign is geared to encourage parents to establish tobacco-free cars and homes to protect their children, who are most vulnerable to illnesses caused by secondhand smoke exposure. Tobacco smoke exposure is implicated as a major cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), chronic respiratory disease, asthma, ear infections, and lung cancer.
