The Cal-EPA report concluded that secondhand smoke causes 53,000 deaths per year, including 38,000 heart disease deaths, 3,000 lung cancer deaths, and 12,000 other cancer deaths. Additionally, the report found secondhand smoke to cause middle ear infections, asthma and chronic respiratory symptoms in children, plus low birth weight and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Currently, there are 466 colleges and universities that have enacted 100% smokefree campuses with no exemptions. (http://www.no-smoke.org/pdf/smokefreecollegesuniversities.pdf) Together we can take action to make UC Davis a 100% smoke free campus.
