SIDS and the smell of smoke

I understand that the smell of cigarettes is foul to a lot of people but is there any connection between the smell of cigarettes and SIDS?

Many people discover the smell of cigarette smoke disgusting. So if you are trying to sell a auto that has been smoked in, or recently purchased a car that was smoked in; here are some straightforward ways to remove that smell. The first step is, detail your automobile. Vacuum each and every square inch. A bowl of white vinegar left overnight in a auto will usually neutralize the scent. Ever wonder why so many cleaners are orange scented? Due to the fact citrus peels look after quite a few problems, just leave them within the car for a while. You can put ground coffee in filters all more than your car, or for a less strong idea, sprinkle baking soda around, and let it sit, than vacuum. You can also place charcoal inside overnight. And lastly, just air it out.

Women who smoke have a greater chance of certain pregnancy problems or having a baby die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Your smoke is also bad for other people - they breathe in your smoke secondhand and can get many of the same problems as smokers do.stop smoking benefits

No connection between the smell of cigarettes and SIDS that I know of. However there is a definite connection between smoking around your baby and SIDS. Also, if you are a smoker, the dust from the cigarette smoke will rest in your furniture and can cause SIDS. THis is because the dust will be breathed into the lungs and rest there.
