Passive SmokePassive SmokeAre you one of 440,000 (out of 2.4 million deaths/year in US) that will die from smoking this year? Lung cancer, emphysema, asthma attacks, cataracts, bronchitis, and death. Whether you pick up a cigarette and smoke it yourself or you get caught walking behind a smoker, you are inhaling smoke that kills the cilia in your lungs. Today I will encourage you to stay away from cigarette smoking so you dont harm your body as well as the non-smokers around you. There are three aspects of passive smoke that I will cover. First, I will talk about the harms passed onto non-smokers. Second, I will discuss what the federal, state, and local legislatures are doing for no-smoking laws. Third, I will talk about why public places and working environments should be smoke-free.
I agree. I share this with my many friends, classmates, and family members who have smoked and smoked for years and for years. But, I also share this with their families and friends who have smoked and for many years after that, have suffered what is known as a “smoking hiatus.” (See “The Smoking Summer” for more on this). The health and safety of these individuals and their loved ones are our responsibility.
As one of my readers previously said, “My generation, especially those that grew up with electronic cigarettes and tobacco, had always believed that smoking to escape the harmful effects and death. The only way to stop smoking was to never smoke again. People were afraid to put their fingers on their trigger fingers for fear of a bad situation, while to keep from smoking, they had to be prepared to endure a fatal illness. No one could, at that point in time, believe anything they read about the health, safety, and health of cigarettes without a doubt. When you are in doubt about a bad event, take action. Do something. But, do not let your personal belief about smoking influence you to ever choose to get rid of it.”

I also feel like cigarettes become too strong as a source of health insurance, because many will die from smoking. The government has its fingers in a lot of situations, and I believe that too many people are too afraid to get healthy tobacco products, even cigarettes. People with a high tolerance for smoke (i.e., smoking for a long time and no-smoking) are actually more likely to die of a heart attack and heart attack compared to those without smoking.
I’d like to think that cigarettes could also be used as a source of prevention and control information for people who are ill-prepared for the dangers of smoking and other forms of illness, including cancer.
Let me just get that out there for you. As you all know, what happens to you, your family, neighbors, friends, and neighbors when you smoke? And how we spend our time together as adults when we smoke cigarettes? It’s not that bad. I know that you know all about the health problems cigarette smoking causes, some of it caused by people who are ill and will never be cured. You don’t need to feel bad about it.

Many people know that smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer, emphysema, and can eventually lead you to death, but how many of you have thought about the effects of passive smoke?
The harms of smoking not only affect the persons themselves, but it also affects the non-smokers around them. Secondhand smoke is a toxic cocktail consisting of poisons and carcinogens.
Over 4000 chemical compounds in secondhand smoke. 200 of them are poisonous, over 60 have been identified as carcinogens.When a cigarette is smoked, about half of the smoke is inhaled / exhaled (mainstream smoke) by the smoker and the other half floats around in the air (sidestream smoke).
Cancer: Lung cancer (3000 deaths every year (EPA)), Nasal sinus cavity cancer, cervical cancer, Breast cancer, Bladder cancer.Heart disease – 35000 to 62000Infants and children – low birth weight: 9700 to 18600, SIDS: 1900 to 2700Passive smoke increases the severity of asthma depending on how much the person is exposed to.EPA – 200,000 and 1,000,000 kids with asthma have their condition worsened by secondhand smoke every year.Triggers 8,000 to 26,000 new cases of asthma in previously unaffected kids.Asthma attacks – more frequently, more severe.No-smoking laws are being put into action by the federal, state and local legislation.As a consequence of the health risks associated with passive smoking, a general ban had been introduced.These initial bans have grown in scope, with jurisdictions (like New York State, Washington State, Ohio, and Arkansas in the U.S.) now prohibiting smoking in public buildings as well as establishments such as restaurants and clubs. Many office buildings contain specially ventilated smoking areas; some are required
