Even if you don’t smoke, you still inhale toxic tobacco smoke from time to time, because there’s nowhere to hide from people who smoke.
How does passive smoking affect health? Let's find out together.
Research data shows that stopping secondhand smoke has significant health benefits.
In a recent study, scientists (British, of course) were able to calculate that about a million Britons are regularly exposed to tobacco smoke at work.
Nurses, caregivers and other professionals who provide care at home are particularly hard hit.
As a result, the researchers concluded that these groups of employees, along with tobacco smoke, inhaled as many harmful particles as residents of Delhi, which is notorious for its polluted air and smog.
However, not only long-term but also short-term exposure to tobacco smoke from passive smoking can cause harm to health.
Studies show that it can lead to heart attacks, circulatory problems in sensitive people and asthma attacks.
Over the long term, regular secondhand smoke increases your risk of developing cardiovascular disease, lung problems, and even stroke.
