| Smoking Cessation Information Smoking Cessation Resources for Butte County Children are especially sensitive to the dangers of secondhand smoke. Children who breathe secondhand smoke have more ear infections, are more likely to develop asthma, and are more likely to suffer from pneumonia, bronchitis and other lung deseases. For children with asthma, secondhand smoke increases the number and severity of asthma attacks. First 5 Butte County Children and Families Commission encourages families to understand the many effects of secondhand smoke and create smoke-free environments for their children. You can create a smoke-free environment by deciding not to smoke in your home, car or around your children, by asking others to not smoke around your children, and by choosing only smoke-free day care centers, schools and restaurants.
