CHILDREN AT RISK FROM POT SMOKE

The recent announcement by the provincial government that marijuana
use will be restricted to private residences to help limit its impact
on communities and public health ignores the rights of children to
protection from second-hand smoke in their homes.

Marijuana smoke is a recognized carcinogen and as with exposure to
tobacco smoke, can cause serious health risks for those involved.
Nearly one-third of deaths from tobacco second-hand smoke exposure are
children, many of whom are infants.
