Secondhand smoke is very harmful for Breathers
Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke emitted from the burning end of a cigarette and smoke emitted by smokers. Second hand smoke contains more than 7000 chemicals, hundreds of which are toxic and can cause about 70 cancers. Second hand smoke is smoke that doesn't mean you have to breathe. Second hand smoke comes from sidestream or mainstream smoke. Sidestream smoke comes out from burning tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Nearby smokers leave mainstream smoke. Harmful chemicals released into the air from both streams that affect non-smokers.
Secondhand smoke breathing interferes with the normal functioning of the heart, blood and vascular system in such a way that increases the risk of heart attack. Even short exposure to second-hand smoke can damage the blood vessels and cause your blood platelets to adhesive. These changes can cause life-threatening heart attacks.
Second hand smoke increases the risk of sids, which is the unexplained and unexpected death of an infant. It is the leading cause of death in healthy children under one year of age. It is estimated that second-hand smoke causes the death of 430 sids annually in the us.
Avoid being around people who smoke, and try to convince people around you to quit smoking. Anyone who smokes should stay away from other people outside, as far as possible. Your home is probably the most important place to keep smoking free, especially if you have children. Keeping children (and adults) away from smoking can help reduce their chances of respiratory infections, severe asthma, cancer, and many other serious conditions.
Making your home smoke-free can be one of the most important things you can do for your family's health. Any member of the family can create SHS related health problems. Children's growing bodies are especially sensitive to toxic substances in SHS. And think about it: we spend more time anywhere in the house. A smoke-free home protects your family.
Thanks.

And that is why, I don't like to be with someone who really do smoking. Aside from the fact that smoking is dangerous to our health, I don't want to be unhealthy because I am surrounded by people who do smoking. Well, its not like I hate them, I am just being cautious about it.
