My father died of Lung Cancer from being exposed to second-hand smoke where he worked for many years. He never smoked in his life. My sister died of heart failure, due to Asthma and Emphysema. Her husband smoked. She never smoked in her life. Some people are highly allergic to second hand smoke, especially those like me, who have genetic predispositions. Smoking kills 440,000 annually. Second-hand smoke kills 53,000 people yearly. It is a Class A Carcinogen. The person who said we non-smokers are being brainwashed, should get their head out of the sand. Smokers have to justify their bad habit.
It not only hurts you but every innocent person around you who doesn't want to smoke. Every one who breathes in second-hand smoke is endangering their health, but young children are particularly at risk as their lungs are smaller and more delicate. They are, therefore, seriously affected by tobacco smoke and the chemicals it contains. Young people exposed to second-hand smoke at home are seven times more likely to smoke. Second-hand smoke contains cancer-causing and other toxic substances that are often in greater concentrations than in the smoke inhaled by the smoker. Some chemical compounds found in smoke only become carcinogenic after they've come into contact with certain enzymes found in many of the tissues of the human body, so the smoke that is breathed out may be worse than the smoke breathed in by the smoker through the cigarette.
