There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS); even brief

exposure can cause immediate harm. Health problems caused by secondhand
smoke in adults, who do not smoke include coronary heart disease, stroke, and
lung cancer, as well as adverse reproductive health effects in women, including
low birth weight. Secondhand smoke can cause sudden infant death syndrome
(SIDS), respiratory infections, ear infections, and asthma attacks in infants and
children. Secondhand smoke is the smoke that comes from the burning end of a
cigarette, cigar, or pipe, and the smoke breathed out by the smoker.

alex Cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of over 7,000 chemicals, including at

least 250 known to be harmful, and more than 60 recognized as carcinogens. One
prominent and detrimental component is nicotine, an addictive alkaloid that
stimulates the release of dopamine, leading to dependence. Additionally, the
combustion of tobacco produces various toxic substances such as carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde, and acrolein, which can contribute to cardiovascular
diseases, respiratory issues, and an increased risk of cancer. These chemicals
damage the delicate tissues in the lungs, impair the respiratory system, and can
initiate mutations in the DNA, paving the way for the development of malignant
cells. The cumulative impact of these toxic compounds underscores the severe
health risks associated with cigarette smoking, making it a leading cause of
preventable diseases and premature death worldwide.
