Secondhand smoke also knows as environemental tobacco smoke is a combination of the smoke given off by the burning end of a tobacco product and the smoke exhaled by the smoker. Do you know that it is a great danger to our health? Of the 4000 chemicals identified with second hand smoke, 250 of these are harmful and 50 are identified to cause cancer.
As smokers often are irresponsible enough to think of the welfare of the non-smokers, we need to protect ourselves from the danger this secondhand smoke is posing. do you have any idea to keep us safe from secondhand smoke?

It is hard to stay away from it since it is around us constantly. I try to just not be in direct contact but it does linger in the air.
What are you gonna do? If it is not one it is another that can harm us, lol.

Iusually dont care. But sometimes it does irritates when people smoke in public places. I am averse to people who drink and do all the dramas on the street. I hate the smell of smoke though.

One thing I definitely do is stay home as long as possible. 2nd, I avoid commuting when I go out. 3rd, I go to malls via my own car because it is illegal to smoke inside the mall.
