The study of "Environmental tobacco smoke and cardiometabolic risk in young children" is published in the European Heart Journal, at here mentioned that damage from passive smoking can be found in the blood vessels of children just 10 years old.

Parents who smoke in the home can cause their child's arteries to show signs of clogging and hardening, dramatically raising their overall life-time risk of heart attack.

At other study on German mentioned which took in almost 400 10-year-olds found those with smoking parents could also have emerging signs of atherosclerosis.

Earlier research has shown a link between second-hand smoke and the condition in adults.

"To show that in healthy 10-year-old kids they've got these increased markers of what we normally associate with a really bad risk of heart attack is alarming," Australian atherosclerosis expert Professor David Celermajer said.

"This is from being exposed to passive smoke from their parents all their lives.

"These children are not about to drop dead when they're 11 or 12 but it indicates they're a three or four-fold higher risk of heart attack in their 40s or 50s."

Prof Celermajer, of Sydney University and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, says an Australian study conducted in 1996 also found evidence of blood vessel damage in 15-year-olds who were exposed to passive smoke in the home.

He says while research suggested these ill effects could be reversed within two years if the child lived in a smoke-free house, for many the ramifications of parental smoking were lifelong.

"I see a lot of people with heart attacks in their 40s and 50s, who have no risk factors at all except having exposure to passive smoke in childhood," Prof Celermajer said.

"So it starts a process that becomes accelerated in that person ... (smoking) casts a long shadow."

A coalition of health and child welfare organisations says the study showed why government needed to speed up smoke-free reforms.

"This is more evidence pointing to the need for all public areas frequented by children including dining areas, playgrounds, public pools, beaches and sports fields, to be made smoke-free by law," Protecting Children from Tobacco spokesman Stafford Sanders said.

"... and for any governments that have not yet made cars carrying children smoke-free to do so quickly." Give up to Stop Smoking.

The group placed use of the beds into the highest risk level for cancer, moving their rating from "probably carcinogenic" to "carcinogenic to humans" - putting them alongside cigarettes, alcohol and asbestos.

Ministers are now considering introducing changing the law to protect people, particularly the young, who use them.

The shift in the WHO's stance was prompted by the results of a review of recent studies of ultraviolet radiation (UV) tanning by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon.

The deadliest form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among British women in their 20s.

Two years ago experts warned the risk of developing skin cancer from using sunbeds has trebled in just a decade because the demand for an instant tan - 'binge tanning' - has led to the marketing of increasingly powerful sunbeds.

Dr Fatiha El Ghissassi, writing in the journal The Lancet Oncology, said: "Several case control studies provide consistent evidence of a positive association between the use of UV-emitting tanning devices and ocular melanoma (skin cancer of the eyelid)."

A spokesman for the Department for Health said: "Sunbeds can be dangerous. If necessary, we will look at new laws to protect young people."

Kathy Banks, chief executive of the Sunbed Association, the industry body, said: "The relationship between UV exposure and an increased risk of developing skin cancer is only likely to arise where over-exposure, in other words burning, has taken place."

* One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
* Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.

* This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs
* amputated.
* Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.
* Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
* Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.
* Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain put on your body by smoking often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.
* Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.
* Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.
* Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.
* Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.
* In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking.
