P.A.S - Non-Smokers' Page

As a non-smoker you might assume that you are safe from the many dangers which come with smoking, but unfortunately that assumption is totally wrong. Second-hand smoke (which everybody suffer from it, smokers and non-smokers) is today known to be very dangerous. It is mistaken to say that while you don't smoke you won't get hurt by the poisons in the cigarettes.

Some of the dangers of ETS (Environmental Tobacco Smoke = Secondhand Smoke) which we can count here are:

Tobacco smoke may cause lung cancer in non-smokers too!
ETS exposure increases heart attack risk by 20%.
Being around smokers, even as little as one hour a day, can almost triple a woman's risk of contracting breast cancer.
At least two thirds of the poison components which are in the cigarettes are exhaled by the smoker and inhaled by the people around him.

Many people wish smokers won't smoke near them, but are too shy or scared to ask those smokers not to smoke there. Well you shouldn't feel that way. Any time a smoker smokes near you he hurts you whether the smells bothers you or not, and you have all the rights to ask that person not to smoke at that moment, so don't hesitate.
The problem is that most of the non-smokers are apathetic to the smoke and smokers. Don't close your eyes. As a non-smoker you have to open your eyes and see the problem, the smoke.
What's the problem, you still ask?

In one year cigarettes kills approx. 50,000 non-smokers in the U.S alone - FACT!
