Hello
Welcome to HCM.
Smoking affects both the smoker and persons in his company. The passive inhalation is equally dangerous for the persons in company of smoker.
The children's respiratory tract is very sensitive and immunity of child is also very weak.
If your husband will smoke in front of your child, the child will be affected.
Motivate your husband to quit smoking.
Thanks.
