From the Paper:

"In this study, Nelson reports on research that showed exposure to second-hand or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) can harm young children. She also discusses the use of cotinine to quantify ETS exposure in children, the manner in which indoor and outdoor smoking resulted in the same levels of cotinine; and the risks of children becoming smokers due to parental role models. According to this researcher, previous studies have shown that exposure to second-hand or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) can be detrimental to a young child's health; however, even if a parent smokes outside the home, children could still face a high level of ETS exposure."
