Second Hand Smoke
Secondhand Smoke, also known as Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS), is the third leading cause of premature death in the United States. It is estimated that second hand smoke accounts for as many as 62,000 deaths every year. Secondhand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, 60 of which have been shown to cause cancer. Inhaling secondhand smoke can cause lung cancer in nonsmokers and is a serious health risk to children.
