2006 Surgeon General's Report—The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke
Posters
Protect Yourself from Secondhand Smoke
Order folded or flat, singly or in bulk.
Also available in
Spanish.
This brightly colored poster features information on how secondhand
smoke exposure affects nonsmokers' health. Exposure to secondhand
smoke causes heart disease, lung cancer, and breathing problems
for adults, and weaker lungs and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
in infants.
There’s No Such Thing as a No Smoking Section
Order folded or flat, singly or in bulk.
Also available in
Spanish.
This poster communicates that no amount of secondhand smoke
exposure is safe and lists ways in which people may be exposed to secondhand
smoke and not realize it. Eliminating exposure indoors is the only way to
adequately protect yourself. Ventilation and filtration will not protect
you—neither will simply sitting in a no-smoking section.
Secondhand Smoke Is Dangerous to Children
Order folded or flat, singly or in bulk.
Also available in
Spanish.
This poster includes information on how secondhand smoke
exposure affects infants and children, causing sudden infant death
syndrome (SIDS), lung problems, ear infections, and more severe asthma.
Secondhand Smoke Is Toxic
Order folded or flat, singly or in bulk.
Also available in
Spanish.
This poster features information on the health effects of some
of the more than 4,000 chemicals contained in secondhand smoke,
including cancer-causing chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene,
toxic metals like arsenic and cadmium, and poisonous gases like
carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide.
