SECOND HAND SMOKE

Non smoker’s people are same with the second hand smoke. The second-hand smoke contains more than four thousand different chemical particles and gases. As a matter of fact, the concentration of some harmful substances in the second-hand smoke is even higher than the smoke that is inhaled into the smoker's lungs. When a smoker is smoking the cigarette, the people in the surrounding area are forced to inhale the smoke that fills the air, hence the name second-hand smoke, also known as passive smoking or non-voluntary smoking.

What can make second hand smoke’s health worse than smokers?

• Smelling cigarette smoke in the air

When smokers smoking beside non smokers, non smokers inhale more smoke than smokers. The smoke will attack their lungs faster.

• Lingering in an air-conditioned area where smoking is allowed, and there is no specially designated smoking area, or having someone not follows the law and smokes in no-smoking area.

• Having friends, colleagues, and family smokers.

If non smokers have friends, colleagues, and family smokers, they will get the consequence from the smokers.

Because there is no absolute failsafe way to guard against the second-hand smoke, the best way to preserve our health is to always be alert about our surroundings, so we are always as far away from the source of second-hand smoke as possible. This way, whether or not you are a smoker, the effect of the second-hand smoke on you or others can be reduced to a minimum.
