When your smoking father, relative or a friend comes close to give you a hug or a kiss, push him away because a smoker’s kiss could be deadly. According to Professor Robert Booy, Director of Research at the National Centre for Immunisation and Research at Sydney’s Children Hospital, the smokers are the prime carriers of potentially deadly Meningococcus bacteria in their mouth. Smokers generally carry more of these dangerous germs which they easily pass .on to others when they kiss them. Booy is of the opinion that infants and small children if infected with this deadly meningococcal disease, can even die due to it. Which of the following is not in consonance with the contents of the passage?

Many parents who smoked are now going outside the house to indulge in smoking and this reduces a child’s risk of passive smoking. Many of the problems of ear and eye infection, asthma or even sudden infant death syndrome are on the decrease after the research findings were made public.
As per Booy’s research, 92% of New South Wales residents aged over 16 have become so much aware of the serious effects of smoking and Meningococcus bacteria that they have started living in smoking-free houses now. None in the house can smoke to passively affect others.
The other symptoms of Meningococcal disease may include sudden onset of fever, severe headaches, drowsiness, sore joints, nausea, vomiting, a dislike of bright lights, a stiff neck and a rash of red-purple spots. One must consult the doctor in such a situation.
Those who are used to smoking and can’t give up this habit, may continue to enjoy smoking but should refrain from kissing their family members especially small children and infants, so that they don’t pass on this deadly bacteria to them.
