Asbestos exposure and secondhand smoke can result in chronic cough

The campaign’s display ads started appearing in Harlem subway stations and check-cashing establishments this week, and will be up until December 15. The campaign includes developing awareness of the increased dangers of smoking (including secondhand smoke), such as chronic cough, after asbestos exposure.

The campaign also includes radio promotions and DJ announcements at events throughout Harlem. Produced in English and Spanish, the ads feature African-American and Latino children suffering from secondhand smoke-related illnesses such as asthma, ear infection, allergies and chronic cough.

Secondhand smoke can also cause bronchitis and pneumonia in kids, and it increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

In addition, children whose parents smoke are twice as likely to become smokers themselves. If you’ve been exposed to asbestos and you are a smoker, it is especially important for you to quit.
