It is an ironic fact given by the World Health Organization (WHO). By Dr. Ullas Batra from New Delhi, about 66 percent of cigarette smoke is not inhaled by the smoker, but going into the air and inhaled by other people around who do not smoke.
Exposure to secondhand smoke is more dangerous and deadly than being an active smoker. This is because passive smokers inhale more nicotine and tar is removed by active smokers. Not only that, passive smokers also inhale more carbon monoxide and ammonia camium containing very high amounts. Also contains carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide poisonous gas that can be deadly.
With the presence of such hazardous substances, passive smokers 25 percent higher risk of developing lung disease and a 10 percent higher risk of heart disease, as reported by Health Me Up. Even so, the effects of smoking can be different for many people. For people who are sensitive, inhaling cigarette smoke in a short time can cause cancer.
People who smoke are not only harming themselves, but also others. Many people who die from cancer and lung diseases, even though they do not smoke. It's good the government began to enforce a ban on smoking in public places or in certain environments.
Quitting smoking is the best way to prevent illness and death for both active and passive smokers. If there are people smoking around you, do not hesitate to remind them, because they can turn off the smoke for you.
