1) Damage from cigarette smoke is reversable - when a person is away from the smoke, the damage reverses and a person returns to a completely healthy state. Breathing smoke does not create life-long problems, emotional or physical.

hmm....well the following are also reversible:
1. bruises
2. broken bones
3. psychological trauma
therefore, since the above is reversible, its no longer catergorized as child abuse?
