Most people feel that if they don’t smoke then they are not liable to be harmed. However although people believe that they cannot be harmed in any way they would still be liable to be harmed much more than they would care to imagine.

Passive smoking or inhaling the smoke that is expelled by smokers in a room or the smoke that issues from the end of a cigarette is probably as dangerous as smoking itself.

The smoke that a smoker exhales is doubly filtered and does not cause much harm, but the smoke that issues from the end of a lighted cigarette is much more harmful than any other type of smoke because it is unfiltered.

This smoke contains many more toxins and much more nicotine than filtered smoke and when inhaled in large quantities has the potential to cause a lot of damage.

Having recognized the potential harm that second hand smoke can do to people most smokers cite it as the reason why they want to give up smoking but the reality remains that there are twelve million adult smokers in the UK alone. That adds up to a lot of second hand smoke in the air that you breathe.

Although it is not possible to do away with second hand smoke entirely, one should do one’s level best to avoid it as far as possible and also to keep one’s children away from it.
