The dangers of smoking at home

A new report says too many Wisconsin children are being exposed to second hand smoke on a daily basis.

Smoking is banned in more homes than ever, but a report from the UW Center for Tobacco Research and Prevention and the UW Comprehensive Cancer Center estimates that nearly 25-percent of Wisconsin families still allow it. As a result, nearly 211,000 children are being exposed to second hand smoke at home.
