Second hand smoke is very unhealthy for children. There are several issues that can arise due to long exposure to this kind of enviroment. Suche issues are asthma and alergies. Worse yet, it could cause lung cancer. Parents should not smoke anywhere near their children. They should put their children first. I don't think it should be illegal.

Second hand smoke can cause many problems, including breathing issues like asthma, allergies, coughing, and more. Children could feel sick more often and dislike the smell of cigarettes on their clothing. A lot of children of smokers have health issues, and it is best to quit if you have kids.
