Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim is specific and empirical, regarding the socioeconomic distribution of passive smoking exposure in children. Multiple retrieved studies from diverse regions (such as Algeria, Hungary, Switzerland, and global analyses) consistently link lower income, lower parental education, and social deprivation with a higher prevalence of secondhand smoke exposure in children, providing robust support for the claim without any contradictory evidence.
