Are you a victim of Secondhand smoke, also known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) or passive smoke, involuntary smoking or passive smoking? I am.Seems that it is the mixture of 2 forms of smoke:
Sidestream smoke: smoke that comes from the end of a lighted cigarette, pipe, or cigar
Mainstream smoke: smoke that is exhaled by a smoker (Secondhand Smoke)
If we judge according to the American Cancer Society:
- Death caused by heart disease of non-smokers who live with smokers - 35,000
- Death caused by lung cancer in non-smoking adults - 3,400
- Coughing, mucus, chest discomfort, and reduced lung function
- Lung infections 150,000 to 300,000, 7,500 to 15,000 children younger than 18 months of age are hospitalized
- Asthma attacks - 200,000 to 1 million children have asthma
- Middle ear infections in children - 750,000
And where are the problems of secondhand smoking? Working place, public places, and at home. I am only safe at home.
According to the National Cancer Institute there is no safe level of secondhand smoking and it can be equally harmful at any stage of its “development”.
But according to the advertising slogans of cigarettes hardly one can predict that they are under the threat of death, cancer, asthma...
Let’s have funny analyses of the cigarette slogans:
Pall Mall. Wherever particular people congregate.
Result: Particular people with less particular diseases
L&M. Just what the doctor ordered.
Result: Doctor and patient on the same way to death
Winston tastes good like a cigarette should
Result: Bad knowledge of language.
Good taste not always leads to bad death
You're never alone with a Strand
Result: You are always surrounded by doctors
If you smoke, please smoke Carlton
If not enjoy the life ;-)
