Abstract: It is well known that secondhand smoke(SHS)has serious effect on infants’ health. Current policies which focus on SHS exposure in public places and workplaces reduction can successfully prevent the adults from SHS exposure other than infants,who are actually more sensitive and susceptible to SHS. SHS exposure reduction is particularly important for infants. There is a serious need for novel strategies to protect children from SHS. This review focuses on the mechanism of nutrition supplement on ameliorating the adverse health effects and the nutrition intervention measures to reduce the SHS-related health outcome and problem for infants. The main objective should be reducing and avoiding children’s exposure from SHS.
