  • Smoking has been associated with sudden infant death
  • Biggest predictor of children smoking is seeing their parents smoking
  • Side effects of smoking that can be discussed with patients are cataracts/blindness, cancers (lung and throat), coronary artery disease, early menopause, osteoporosis/fractures, and impotency
