In this episode of Teen Talks, Mai and Coco discuss the harmful effects of second-hand and third-hand smoke and aerosol with Dr. Nguyen Thuy Van Thao and Dr. Corry Avanceña. They explain that both cigarette smoke and vape aerosol contain chemicals that are harmful to health. Second-hand smoke can travel up to 7 to 9 meters and settle on objects, while third-hand smoke refers to the toxins that remain on objects after smoking. Pregnant women exposed to smoke or aerosol are at risk of having babies with lower birth weight or stillbirth. The long-term effects of second-hand smoke exposure include an increased risk of lung cancer and other serious health issues. The doctors emphasize the importance of creating smoke-free environments and educating children about the dangers of smoking and vaping.
