Second hand smoke also known as passive smoke is the process by which another person has a cigarette but the toxic smoke is also inhaled and affects those who move along with the active smoker. The sad thing about this is that second hand smoke is just as harmful as having a cigarette. So the next time you smoke in the company of other people you have to be well aware of the fact that you are not just putting your self in danger but the same amount of danger is being passed on to your loved ones as well even if it's only second hand; a very strange gift indeed to pass on to your loved ones.

So if not for your self, at least for your loved ones you ought to try and give up the habit. First or second doesn't matter.

Passive smoking should be one of the most important reasons for you to stop smoking. It seems so unfair when I read in the newspapers about an individual who is suffering from lung cancer due to second hand smoke, when they themselves had never had a cigarette in their life.

Isn't it a very selfish way of existing without bothering about the safety and well being of others just because you want to indulge in a pleasure of yours?
