Always around people who smoke, will I get sick?!
Question: Always around people who smoke, will I get sick?
Answers:
"When a smoker lights up a cigarette, he or she only inhales about 15 percent of that smoke. The remaining 85 percent pollutes the air for the rest of the world to breathe in. As a result, when you're around a smoker, you engage in passive smoking by proximity. Interestingly, when you spend two or more hours in the same room where someone is smoking, you inhale the equivalent of four cigarettes!
Passive smoking is the third leading cause of preventable disability and early death in the United States. (Active smoking and alcohol take the first two spots for leading cause of early death.) Sadly, for every eight smokers who die from smoking, one innocent second hand "smoker" will also die."
