One of the most important things that you can do to help keep your baby healthy is to keep her away from tobacco smoke.  Exposure to second hand smoke increases both the frequency and severity of conditions like ear infections, bronchitis, nasal congestion, and asthma. 

If you smoke there are two things that you should consider:

 To avoid harmful exposure to your smoking, it would be best to never smoke inside but at least never smoke in the same room or a car with your infant. 

If you don't want your baby to be a smoker when she is older, be a good role model and stop smoking now.

There was a Family Circus cartoon once that noted "Kids don't always hear what we say but they always see what we do."
