Secondhand smoke:

  • Has twice as much nicotine and tar as the smoke inhaled by the smoker.
  • Carries just as many chemicals as the cigarettes do.
  • Contains 50 chemicals that cause cancer in others.
  • Causes coughing, phlegm, chest discomfort and reduced lung function in non-smokers.
  • Is especially harmful to young children.

Secondhand smoke affects everyone, please think of others.
