Does smoking outside protect your children from cigarette smoke? Israeli study says no

A recent study conducted by researchers in Israel indicates that smoking outdoors does not effectively protect children from exposure to cigarette smoke. The findings challenge the common belief held by many parents that stepping outside to smoke prevents their children from inhaling harmful substances.

According to Professor Ariel Tarasiuk, the research suggests that outdoor smoking is not a sufficient measure to shield children from the effects of secondhand smoke. The study highlights that the practice does not always mitigate the risks associated with smoke exposure, indicating that children may still be impacted even when parents smoke away from them.
