How much second hand smoke to have a serious impact on health??
Question: I recently started hanging out with a new group of friends, and this group really likes to smoke. When we hang out, we will stand around for a few hours and just talk. While doing this, they are all puffing away on cigarettes the entire time. I am a little concerned that hanging around them will have a negative impact on my health, even for a few times. Do you guys agree, or do you think I am being over paranoid?
Answers: The main risk to health is if your allergic or the smoke triggers you to have an asthma attack. You should be able to tell if you can handle other people smoking, and I you've been allergic or had an asthma attack its very hard for it to go unnoticed. 2nd hand smoke is made out to be a big deal, but scientifically speaking there are very few cases of death reported as being 2nd hand smoke related (less than 10 people a year in the USA). However, if hanging around them leads to you taking up the smoking habit, its safe to say that would have a very negative impact on your health.
