Summary

Secondhand smoke causes a range of serious health problems, including stroke, heart disease, and sudden infant death syndrome. State and local policies that prohibit smoking in all indoor areas of worksites, restaurants, and bars — and encourage people to make their homes smoke-free — can protect people from secondhand smoke.
