Smoking is a Real Drag on Health

Better Health is Just a Puff Away

Would you like to drastically shorten your life span? Then hanging around a smoker might make your wish come true.

As more studies are being conducted on the effects of smoking in regards to health matters, we are learning that people who don't even smoke may have the same health risks as smokers - from just inhaling second hand smoke.

What is second hand smoke?

Many people - even brilliant people, are under the belief that second hand smoke occurs when a person breaths in the smoke of a smoker that they are around. It's a bit more gross and deadly than that....

Second hand smoke does include the smoke from the product. But second hand smoke chiefly consists of the expelled air from the lungs of the smoker which is quite destructive to the body tissues and cells. Health risks are increased dramatically when breathing in this concoction - from respiratory ailments to heart attacks.

But it's not only adults who are effected by second hand smoke. The health ailments that come with second hand smoke are often forced upon those who are too innocent to do anything about it. Children, pets and plants.

If you are a concerned smoker who enjoys smoking and has decided not to quit, you can do your part to make the world a healthier place by smoking in a secluded area to protect others from suffering from the damaging effects of smoking.
