A new campaign has been launched in the U.K. to remind smokers of the dangers of second-hand smoke. The TV and online adverts will outline the risk adults pose to children when they light up in cars and homes. Chief medical officer Professor Dame Sally Davies says, "It's well known that smoking kills, but many smokers still don't realise the damage their smoke causes to those around them. Our message is clear: giving up smoking is by far the best way to protect your family and we can help you quit to give you and your loved ones a healthier future." Research suggests the effects of passive smoking on children costs the National Health Service ????23 million a year through GP visits and hospital admissions.
