Worst of all was the number of smokers with asthmatic children who didn't even try to quit or at least(47)C themselves to smoking outdoors rather than just moving to another room or the garage.Many smoking parents(48)Fexpensive air filters that have what Cabana called"questionable utility."
Part of the problem,Dr.Cabana and his colleagues believe,is that parents are bombarded by television ads that encourage them to buy products such as air and carpet fresheners,ionizers and other remedies that are often expensive but medically (49)I.And doctors may not always take the time,or have the time,to explain to parents what will and won't work in their child's particular case.

★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On numerous occasions,conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world.On the contrary,it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.
★Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later.Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said,but from something that wasn't said!Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It's essential to interrupt the"waiting game"before it gets to that point.
★Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that made you angry,or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions,simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappear right there.Do remember to make an inquiry,not an accusation of any sort.
★Appreciate.Praise the other part in the conflict.Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it's a great way to move forward.
