Passive Smokers Are Liable To Die Young Too!

in #air-clinic5 years ago (edited)


The other day I was in a shopping mall and this pretty fair lady walked in. She went straight to the cigarette counter and picked a pack of "Benson & Hedges".

Feeling inquisitive, I asked her whether she smokes and she immediately replied that she doesn't smoke. I laughed out loud. "Do I look like someone that smokes?" She quickly added.

Well smokers do not have a tattoo of cigarettes on their forehead anyway. However, I don't think she had any reason not to tell the truth if she was indeed a smoker.

I took the opportunity to remind her that passive smoking is just as dangerous (if not more) than active smoking. Yes! So many people do not know this.

Consider these scenarios...

You don't smoke but you kiss a smoker.

You don't smoke but you go to a club where hundreds of people are smoking indoors.

You don't smoke but your parent or friends smoke while you are in the same room.

Wanna know the truth? Well you are a passive smoker. It's another way of saying that other people smoke for you! They inhale the puffs and regurgitate the aftermath for you to swallow.

Imagine swallowing another person's vomit. Imagine rebreathing another person's used air in addition to the toxic air within it. Exhaled air has very little Oxygen​ and much carbon dioxide molecules.

Also consider a situation where this individual or individuals do have a disease that can be transmitted via the air. An example of this is chronic illness like tuberculosis. You inhale the bacteria and you don't even know because it doesn't show up immediately.

One of the important health hazards that the government must be concerned about is public smoking. Hey! If you want to"enjoy" the effects of tobacco please don't involve others. Do your thing alone.

Cigarette smoking is still the number 1 cause of Lung cancer and it's contributory factor to other malignancies/diseases is well known. Yeah! I know there are many who live until old age but not when you smoke 20packs per day for 20years.

You are your own boss anyway. If you are a smoker please save others. If you are not one, please save yourself. Why have diarrhea for another person's overeating?!
