Secondhand Smoke

Secondhand Smoke is Dangerous

 

Studies show that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.

Breathing secondhand smoke increases your chances of lung problems, cancer, heart attack, and stroke.

According to the American Lung Association, approximately 3,400 non-smokers die from lung cancer each year from exposure to secondhand smoke.

 

 

 

 

I know this all comes as a shock to most smokers. We think that it's only our bodies that were harming. I wish that was the case here, because in Arkansas secondhand smoke is the third leading preventable cause of death.

Secondhand smoke...causes 30 times as many lung cancer deaths as all regulated pollutants combined!
