Does smoking affect the people around more?

It is one of the top ways to die- second hand smoke. More so than even first hand smoke- they say. I think you are truely telling those around you that you want them to die.

Yes that is completely true . I don't smoke myself, but I am frequently around and with people who smoke quite often . I really hate it .I heard in the reports that Passive Smoking in itself is much more risky than Active SMoking, so something should be done about it !!

Yes ofcourse it is almost same if someone is smoking himself or the smoke is entering someone's other lungs there is no difference at all that's why I think public smoking sholud be banned.

The effects of second hand smoke are not quite as bad as the effects of smoking on the smoker himself, but there are still some documented serious effects of second hand smoke. This is especially true for children who are exposed to smoke or for someone living with a smoker for a number of years; the cumulative effect is what causes the harm. I think that smokers should have the common decency to always smoke outside, even in their homes, so that they do not expose others to their toxins. They should also have to stand far away from the doorways of public buildings; I hate having to walk through a crowd of smokers huddled by the door on a smoke break when I go to a store or a bank- it looks tacky, and you have to walk through the cloud of smoke and breathe it in order to get into the building.

yes it do effect people around the smoker..so its better to remain far from chain smokers..but its also true that person who smokes affect more and not the people around him. :-)
