It was found that the higher the exposure to smoke, the more cavities a child developed. Of the 3,783 children sampled, it was reported that 47% had cavities in their baby teeth, and 26% had cavities in permanent teeth. This study indicates that second-hand smoke accounts for a significant proportion of cavities in children.</p>'}// -->
