New passive smoking study

The study published in the European Heart Journal found that children whose parents both smoke had thicker arteries later in life.

The University of Tasmania's Dr Seana Gall says that can add more than three years to the age of the blood vessels by the time they reach adulthood.

"What that suggests to us is that the effect of the passive smoke exposure on the arteries is something that happens in childhood," she said.

"And it remains throughout life as an affect on the arteries so it's really important in terms of getting the message through that children should not be exposed to passive smoke."
