Effects of Smoking

Quit Smoking Today !! Your Health is Important !

Passive Smoking

Quit Smoking Today !! It doesn't just affect you !!

Be under no illusion passive smoking is just as damaging to your health as being the smoker. It is estimated that a non smoker living with a smoker inhales 1% of the smoke, this is enough to increase the risk of lung cancer by 20% for woman and 30% for men, and that non-smokers living with smokers had an increased risk of heart disease of around 30%. Just think about that for a minute and think about the loved ones you live with, you are actually seriously damaging their health.

Quit Smoking Today not just for you but for your loved ones too.

It is estimated that around 700 million children worldwide are exposed to tabacco smoke by the 1.2 billion adults who smoke. A report in 1992 showed that around 17,000 children in the U.K are admitted to hospital each year through illnesses caused by passive smoking.

Other effects passive smoking may have on a non-smoker include eye irritation, headache, sore throat, cough, dizziness and nausea. It is also said that blood flow to the heart is reduced after just 30 minutes of exposure. People who suffer from asthma may be affected significantly more.
