Inclusion Criteria:
* age 0 to 10 years old
* admitted to The Barbara Bush Children Hospital for bronchiolitis, pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or asthma
* the child lives with an adult who smokes cigarettes
Exclusion Criteria:
* Non-English-speaking and -reading adults will be excluded as our interventions are in English.
* Children over the age of 10 will be excluded as we wanted to avoid children who themselves smoke, given that we will not have a confidential way to assess this.
* Breastfeeding children will be excluded as nicotine is transferrable in breast milk.
* Families (meaning the parent or guardian, the child, and any smoking coinhabiting caregiver) will be excluded if the parent or the smoking adult is a minor, as they would not be able to give consent for participation.
* Children in foster care or whose guardian is the state will be excluded as we are unlikely to achieve timely consent.
* Families who do not reside in Maine will be excluded as The Maine Tobacco Helpline is not able to provide services for out-of-state residents.
* Children readmitted to the hospital during our study period will be excluded if they have already participated in this study during a previous admission.
