Children and teens who are exposed to secondhand smoke while spending time with family or friends who smoke, would be at a higher risk of hearing loss, researchers have found. Researchers at New York University Langone Medical Center thought tobacco smoke might have an effect on the blood flow in kids' inner ear, which is important for hearing. Studies also indicate that kids whose parents smoked had more than twice the likelihood of developing cognitive problems like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, and behavioral disorders by the time they turned 11. Exposure to second hand smoke can also lead to respiratory disorders in children.
