Second Hand Smoke
Essays

Secondhand smoke is a mixture of chemicals, mainly of the smoke generated between puffs, called side-stream smoke, inhaled by persons who do not smoke but are around or within breathing range of someone who does.

It is important to understand the dangers of smoking, but it is equally important to be aware of the dangers that are seen in second hand smoke. All around the world, countries are banning smoking in public places so that people who don't smoke don't have to breathe in smoke put out by other people. In order to understand the value of this, though, it is very important to realize just how much damage is done by secondhand smoke.
