Is passive smoking dangerous?
The risk of developing lung cancer is over 30% higher for those who inhale the smoke coming from the people smoking around them.
Daily, nine persons out of ten inhale cigarette smoke involuntary at work or in public areas. However, only three of them are aware of passive smoking.
Thousands of studies have focused on the effects of passive smoking. They have all reached the same conclusion: the air containing cigarette smoke creates for the non smokers almost as many health problems as it creates for those who frequently smoke.
The concentration of noxious substances like ammonia, carbon monoxide and benzene is almost 30 times higher in the exhaled smoke than in the inhaled smoke that reaches the lungs.
Passive smoking affects the lungs, the heart,the skin, creating a perfect environment for damaged coronary arteries,asthma, lung cancer, and many other diseases.
