4. Smoking is dangerous, not only for the person holding the cigarette, but also
for the people who share their environment.
Secondhand smoke, which is caused by smokers and inhaled by people
nearby.
Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in nonsmokers.
At work
The workplace is a major source of SHS exposure for many adults.
Separating smokers from non-smokers, cleaning the air, and ventilating the
building cannot prevent exposure if people still smoke inside the building.
Workplace smoking restrictions may also encourage smokers to smoke
less, or even quit.
5. In public places
Everyone can be exposed to SHS in public places, such as
restaurants, shopping centers, public transportation, schools, and daycare
centers.
Public places where children go are a special area of concern.
At home
Children’s growing bodies are especially sensitive to the poisons in
SHS. Asthma, lung infections, and ear infections are more common in
children who are around smokers.
Think about it: we spend more time at home than anywhere else. A
smoke-free home protects your family, your guests, and even your pets.
SHS cannot be controlled with ventilation, air cleaning, or by separating
smokers from non-smokers.
6. Separate or ventilated smoking areas do not protect non-smokers from
second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke can spread from a smoking area to
a non-smoking area, even if the doors between the two areas are closed and
even if ventilation is provided. Only 100% smoke-free environments provide
effective protection.
Youths exposed to second-hand smoke at home are one-and-a-half to two
times more likely to start smoking than those not exposed.
