About this episode
While the number of people smoking cigarettes is down... e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and other non-cigarette nicotine product use is up. Secondhand and thirdhand (yes, there's even fourth hand smoke) can hurt kids. Rachel and Dr. Navsaria break down what being around smokers does to children, how to keep them safe, and compassionately help those who do smoke.
