Smoking cigarettes is such an addictive habit that millions of Americans try to quit every day and fail within just a few days. Some smokers will be free of their smoking addiction for a while, and others will succeed in staying smoke-free for the rest of their lives. Quitting the smoking habit is an extremely difficult task and takes determination and willpower that only some have enough of.
The ingredients in cigarette smoke are plentiful. There are a few thousand toxins and chemicals that are undoubtedly bad for your body and your overall health and what’s even worse is that the smoker isn’t the only one to ingest these chemicals. Any person living or visiting the smoker is exposed to this toxic smoke.
Sometimes, the thought of what the secondhand smoke is doing for the smoker’s loved ones is enough for these smokers to quit or make sure they are never around them when they light up.Over 50,000 non-smokers who live in a smoking household or are exposed to secondhand on a regular basis can succumb to premature deaths or develop a debilitating disease that could eventually end their life early.
There is no safe level of smoke exposure, according to the Surgeon General. Anyone who is exposed to even small amounts is affected somehow some way even though the side effects may or may not be noticeable. Anyone in the service industry, such as restaurants, bars, and other places that still allow smoking, is 2 to 5 times higher than in non-smoking establishments.
Young children and infants are extremely vulnerable to the effects of the smoke, which is responsible for many hospitalizations annually. Respiratory problems, such as wheezing, coughing, and sneezing, and asthma are more likely to occur in a child in a smoking household than a child in a non-smoking one. An existing medical condition in a child will only become more aggravated. In addition, the child’s lungs never develop fully because the smoke hinders it from growing.
In both adults and children, the secondhand smoke can cause a build up of fluid inside the ear, which results in almost 800,000 hospital visits in a single year.
The devastating effects of secondhand smoke affect smokers and non-smokers on a personal level. The habit can result in the death or the disease of a loved one (pets included), and the habit costs taxpayers and those who pay upfront billions in healthcare costs every year.
