Study Links Secondhand Smoke to ADHD in Children
Posted on 2026-04-02 17:13:13
The Health Promotion Administration is warning of a strong link between
secondhand smoke and ADHD in children.

The H-P-A pointed to a 2019 study in Egypt to say that nearly 90 percent of
children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder had been exposed to
secondhand smoke.

The H-P-A said it showed a clear link between the environment and the
disorder.

Researchers also noted as exposure grew longer and more intense, the severity
of the symptoms increased as well.

Experts stress that children are especially vulnerable, with secondhand smoke
linked not only to behavioral issues but also to long-term health risks.

The agency is urging parents to quit smoking, calling it one of the best ways
to protect children's health.

They also remind everyone that even indirect exposure to lingering smoke
indoors can still be harmful to health.
