Text: THE SECOND HAND SMOKE

Cigarettes do not just harm the people who smoke. They also harm the
people who are near cigarettes and breathe the smoke. This includes fetuses and
small children. The breathe second hand smoke. Second hand smoke is the smoke
that comes out of the end of a cigarette and that a smoker exhales (breathes out).
Second hand smoke is also called passive smoke.

About 53, 222 people die from hand smoke hand every year. When we
breathe second hand smoke, we breathe the same 4, 000 chemicals a cigarette
smoker breather. 21 of those chemicals cause cancer.

In 1986, the surgeon General of the US wrote the dangers of second hand
smoke. It cause diseases, like lung cancer in healthy nonsmokers, and the children of
parents who smoke compared to children of nonsmoking parent have an increased
frequency of respiratory infections, increased respiratory of smokers within the same
airspace may reduce, but does not eliminate exposure of smokers to environmental
tobacco smoke.

The second hand smoke is more dangerous than the smoke that is inhaled in a
cigarette because it is filtered. The filter on the end of a cigarette removes some
harmful chemicals. The second hand smoke is the largest source of indoor air
pollution. Restaurants that allow smoking can have six times the pollution of busy
highway.

When people breathe the second hand smoke on a regular basis in the
workplace, their lungs are affected. Their lungs look as if the people smoked one to
10 cigarettes a day. That means nonsmoking workers in a smoking office have same
lung damage as a mild smoker. They have a 34% higher risk of getting lung cancer
than workers who do not smoker or breathe second hand smoke on the job.
