摘要

Exposure to secondhand smoke is harmful to the health of the general population and particularly hazardous to children. The 2006 Surgeon General's Report concluded that children exposed to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), acute respiratory infections, ear problems, and more severe asthma. The predominant sites of exposure to second-hand smoke for children are their homes. The Surgeon General's Report further concluded that smoking by parents causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children. This Statistical Brief presents estimates of the percentage of children under age 18 at the end of 2004 who lived in families containing at least one adult who was a current smoker. Variations are examined by selected characteristics of the child (asthma status, age, race/ethnicity) and co-residing family (number of adults, poverty status, geographic location of residence, highest adult education level). The estimates shown are derived from smoking information collected in the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) adult self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) in conjunction with data obtained from the core MEPS-HC questionnaire, and apply to an estimated population of 73 million noninstitutionalized children in the United States who were under the age of 18 on December 31, 2004. All differences between estimates discussed in the text are statistically significant at the 0.05 level or better.
