Secondhand Smoke Smoking is dangerous, not only for the person holding the cigarette, but also

for the people who share their environment.

Secondhand smoke, which is caused by smokers and inhaled by people

nearby.

Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in nonsmokers.

At work

The workplace is a major source of SHS exposure for many adults.

Separating smokers from non-smokers, cleaning the air, and ventilating the

building cannot prevent exposure if people still smoke inside the building.

Workplace smoking restrictions may also encourage smokers to smoke less,

or even quit.

In public places

Everyone can be exposed to SHS in public places, such as

restaurants, shopping centers, public transportation, schools, and daycare

centers.

Public places where children go are a special area of concern.

At home

Children’s growing bodies are especially sensitive to the poisons in

SHS. Asthma, lung infections, and ear infections are more common in

children who are around smokers.

Think about it: we spend more time at home than anywhere else. A

smoke-free home protects your family, your guests, and even your pets.

SHS cannot be controlled with ventilation, air cleaning, or by separating

smokers from non-smokers.

Separate or ventilated smoking areas do not protect non-smokers from

second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke can spread from a smoking area to

a non-smoking area, even if the doors between the two areas are closed and

even if ventilation is provided. Only 100% smoke-free environments provide

effective protection.

Youths exposed to second-hand smoke at home are one-and-a-half to two

times more likely to start smoking than those not exposed.
