Abstract
Forty-two per cent of UK children live in a household where someone smokes. This paper, the third in a series on smoking cessation, presents a brief review of the evidence concerning the impact of passive smoking on adult and child health. It outlines some harm-reduction approaches aimed at reducing the impact of passive smoking at home, at work and in public.
