Protecting Children from the Dangers of 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Degree Smoke

Join us for our hourlong lunchtime brown bag training on protecting children from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree smoke.
About this Event

This 1-hour brown bag training session will teach and explore the definitions of each 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree smoke caused by tobacco use. Participants will learn where each degree of smoke comes from, what they each mean, and the depths of their infiltration into the air and/or various surfaces. Additionally, by the end of the training each participant will be able to explain how 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree smoke each impact children and their health in dangerous ways.
