To the Editor We thank Belamarich and Racine for their comments¹ on our publication, “Treating Parents for Tobacco Use in the Pediatric Setting: The Clinical Effort Against Secondhand Smoke Exposure Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial.”² We share their concern that tobacco use is a public health crisis requiring multiple approaches and broad public health efforts. Despite multiple and persistent efforts to denormalize tobacco use, data have shown that parents continue to smoke and expose their children to tobacco smoke.³ Parents are the most important group to invest in for tobacco cessation strategies because when they quit, they gain more than 10 years of life on average and have extra money to spend on their families while they protect their children (and unborn babies) from the harms of tobacco smoke. Their children also have lower risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, higher reading and math scores, fewer missed school days, and lower chance of using tobacco as adults.

致编辑我们感谢Belamarich和Racine在我们的出版物“在儿科环境中治疗父母使用烟草：反对二手烟暴露群的临床努力随机临床试验”中的评论¹。²我们对烟草使用是一种公共卫生危机表示关切，这需要采取多种方法并需要广泛的公共卫生努力。尽管做出了不懈的努力以使烟草使用非正常化，但数据显示，父母继续吸烟并将其孩子暴露于烟草烟雾中。³父母是为戒烟战略投资的最重要的群体，因为当他们戒烟时，他们平均可以获得超过10年的寿命，并且有更多的钱可以花在家人上，同时保护自己的孩子（和未出生的婴儿）免受伤害。烟。他们的孩子患注意力缺陷/多动症的风险也较低，阅读和数学成绩较高，缺勤的学习日较少，成年使用烟草的机会也较小。
