Smoking is an evil that not only affects the health of a smoker but also impairs the lives of his family and those he is in touch with while smoking. The process is called passive smoking or secondhand smoking or involuntary smoking or Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) in which the people around the smoker are forced to inhale the smoke exhaled by him. Unaware of the colossal damage to the health of family members, the smokers are causing immense loss to the entire humanity.
Consider these figures about smoking:
- there are over 4000 chemicals in tobacco having 100 identified poisons and 63 components that are cancer-agents
- ETS causes death of an estimated 3,000 non-smoking Americans per year due to lung cancer and 300,000 children undergo lower respiratory tract infections
