I love this article. I remember my son sneezing and itching and simply struggling to breathe when he was at Grandma's house. She didn't smoke around him, it was simply being near her things. Her couch, her shirt, her hair, it all triggered a reaction. She always rolled her eyes and acted like we were all making it up and that he must have a cold, etc...
It was pathetic. She NEVER looked at the way her grandson was reacting because it was too confronting for her and she would've had to acknowledge the impact. I always hoped there would be a study and this is not the first I've seen, but each time I see one- I feel so validated. Hooray for progress.
