The World Health Organization estimates that, worldwide, more than 50% of children experience secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe) daily, with higher rates of exposure observed in medically-underserved populations. 1, 2 There is no safe level of SHSe, and routine exposure greatly increases the probability that children will initiate smoking themselves. 3-5 Children's SHSe is linked to sudden infant death syndrome and numerous acute illnesses (eg, otitis, respiratory infections), as well as asthma, cancers, and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-increasing CVD risk by as much as 20%. 6, 7 In addition to the direct harmful effects of SHSe on cardiovascular health, 6, 8-10 SHSe negatively effects children's diets, activity levels, and percent body fat, 11, 12 which can further impair their cardiovascular health.
