Is Passive smoking dangerous?
The environmental tobacco smoke that passive smokers inhale puts them at the same health risks as smokers. Depending on the amount of exposure to tobacco smoke (such as living in the same household as a smoker), they may suffer from irritation to the eyes, runny nose, sore throat and headache. If they continue to be exposed to second-hand smoke, they have a higher chance of developing lung cancer, heart attack and lung infection, severe attacks in people with asthma, bronchitis, colds and allergies, and heart disease.
