Health Risks Of Passive Cigarette Smoking To The People Near You

Most people know that smoking is dangerous, yet despite knowing about the harmful effects of smoking on their personal health, many smokers never quit. They rationalize their addiction by saying that they are only hurting themselves when they smoke. In actuality, smoking also impacts the health of people who do not smoke. Friends, children, family, co-workers, and even people who just happen to be nearby may suffer health effects from passive smoking.

What is passive smoking? You may have heard of the term “secondhand smoke” to define smoke inhaled by someone near a smoker. Secondhand smoke is a combination of smoke from a burning cigarette, cigar, or pipe, and exhaled smoke. It often has greater amounts of harmful chemicals than inhaled smoke, for instance, double the amount of tar and nicotine. This puts passive smokers at a greater risk of smoking related illnesses and health issues.

Scientific studies of the effects of passive smoking on health show increased risks for heart disease, lung disease, and various ailments for people constantly exposed to secondhand smoke. Health data on passive smoking show a link between passive smoking and cancer, with passive smokers having an a higher risk of lung cancer and heart disease. Sadly, it is not unusual for the nonsmoking child or spouse of a smoker to develop illnesses related to smoking because of constant secondhand smoke inhalation. Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to infants and children. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at a higher risk of respiratory infections and other respiratory health problems. Asthmatic children are at an increased risk of having frequent asthma attacks. Secondhand smoke may also be responsible for raising a pregnant woman’s risk of having a low birth weight baby or a miscarriage.

Due to the negative impacts of passive smoking, smoking has been banned in many public places, such as restaurants and bars. Secondhand smoke can also be a cause for concern in the workplace. Workers who breathe in secondhand smoke have an increased risk of illness and even miss more days of work. This has led many offices to ban smoking, and some areas have even passed legislation against smoking in the workplace. Amongst jobs with a ban on smoking, employers report increased productivity and fewer absences.

Typically, most smokers start searching for ways to quit smoking out of concern for their family’s health. There are several methods to quit smoking, and one of the quickest ways is through the use of a specially formulated hypnotherapy program. Hypnosis programs for quitting smoking are designed specifically to help smokers quit smoking without withdrawal. They are particularly useful because they help smokers fight the psychological aspect of the addiction, which is the hardest part to overcome.

If they ever feel the urge to smoke, they just remember and utilize the techniques that allowed them to quit.
