Is the lead in second hand smoke enough to cause lead poisoning in children?

i would like to know and it would be helpful if you could provide a link. thank you very much.

according to this site and other things i have read, there IS lead in cigarettes.

Lead is occasionally a contaminant in cigarettes. Lead arsenate may be used as an insecticide in tobacco growing. But don't worry, the very small amount you might get from second hand smoke is nothing. There is much more lead in fish and other things....not to say cigarette smoke is ok, just saying you won't get lead poisoning from them.

The link is not to be anywhere near.

I don't think so, my parents smoked my whole life around me and I never got lead poisoning

There is NO LEAD is cigarettes -- Jeez!!!!!!!!!!!

No but there is arsenic

The common item is both lead and arsenic can cause heavy metal poisoning
