Yes, passive smoking, also known as secondhand smoke, contains both carbon monoxide and nicotine. When tobacco is burned, it releases a variety of harmful chemicals, including these two substances, which can be inhaled by non-smokers nearby. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can impair oxygen delivery in the body, while nicotine is a highly addictive substance that can affect cardiovascular health. Exposure to passive smoking poses significant health risks to those who are not directly smoking.
The combined effects of nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide from smoking significantly impair cardiovascular health. Nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure, while carbon monoxide reduces oxygen delivery to tissues, leading to increased strain on the heart. Tar contributes to atherosclerosis by promoting plaque buildup in arteries, further narrowing blood vessels. Together, these substances heighten the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke.
