What is passive smoking? How harmful is it?
Passive smoking is seconhand smoking. inhaling smoke from “secondhand” is almost as bad as smoking itself. If you are in a smoke filled room for 1 hour with smokers, it is equal to smoking 10 cigarettes. there are many types of cancers that can come from secondhand smoke. Out of all of the lung cancer deaths reported, nearly 40% of them were from smoking and secondhand smoke. Smoking the cigarette you are getting the filtered smoke, but secondhand smoke you are getting the “sidestream” and “mainstream” smoke. this means you are breathing in what the smoker is exhaling out, and what is burning off the cigarette.
