Help: children in a house where people smoke

[spastic_poodle]

My 4 year old, 11 week old, and I are staying with friends. I knew they smoked but didn't realize they smoke inside.

They've said they won't smoke inside while we're here. The entire house reaks of it though... will the residue or whatever harm my children?

Thanks ladies. We left because it just worried me too much with the newborn. Luckily we only live 4 hours away.

I'd appreciate some advice on this...

 i dont know but best to try an air the place out as much as you can

I.don't think so. At least there nice enough to smoke outside

Probably not short term unless there are underlying conditions, like asthma.  Long term (like kids who are raised in a smoking home) third hand smoke has a higher rate of causing cancer than second hand smoke.

what do you want to know? the children are being exposed to the chemicals in the cig smoke residue the risk is minimal with short exposure.

The chemicals can stay in furniture and other permeable items. Clean what you can but you are a guest.

I'd tell them DS has a severe allergy to smoke.

Worked for us in the past.
