Research Memo #3

On “smoking.ygoy.com” it states that 126 million nonsmoking Americans are directly affected by secondhand smoke in their homes, public places, vehicles or workplaces. Secondhand smoke harms people anywhere and every where. In homes smoke can seep into clothes and into the furniture in your house. So anyone that comes into your home gets all of the harmful chemicals into there lungs and clothes. It’s a big chain of harmful chemicals going around so everyone you’re around gets infected by it. Out of every 5 adults one of them is a smoker. But that one person can affect all of the other four around them with the cigarette that they are smoking.

            I found a video on YouTube and it is of a person smoking a cigarette and on the other end of the person smoking is another person with the same cigarette in there mouth and they inhale the smoke and then breathe it out. This is showing that every smoker is harming another human being by smoking around them. This video was made by a university in Thailand so this just tells me that smoking is a problem everywhere not just in the US. People need to get the facts about smoking all over the world so that everyone will realize the real harm behind smoking and secondhand smoke. At least there are other people looking at the smoking and the facts behind it.

            If everyone would just get on the internet and research secondhand smoke or cigarettes in general for 10 minutes they would find out a lot that they don’t know now. Smoking can harm everyone around them. As long as there is cigarettes there will be an extremely high rate of lung cancer. If smoking would stop then the rate of lung cancer would also decrease. Smoking is harmful so just look up the facts and spread them like rumors in high school.
