It can affect you more than the other person smoking it can damage your lungs and liver. You can get heart problems, blood vessel troubles and even strokes. No one should ever smoke around you or your children. Never allow them to smoke in your house or car. Most states have laws banning smoking in public buildings. If you are married to a smoker have the smoker smoke only outside even if it is winter. Being out in the cold could help motivate the person to quit. And don't let ashtrays sit around your house either.

Passive smoking increases your risk of getting lung cancer by 24%, and Heart disease by 25%. It can also make your blood more sticky, which means that it's more likely to clot. Blood clots can block your arteries, leading to heart attack, stroke, angina, or even heart failure. For more information:
