4. Secondhand Smoke
We have already established that smoking is bad for you, but did you know that even being around other smokers can also lead to health problems? Secondhand smoke means inhaling the smoke from other peoples’ cigarettes, and this can also lead to problems like emphysema.
If you do smoke then it is a good idea to be courteous and try to keep to smoking away from other people. Not only can it be harmful to their health, but it also has an unpleasant odor to nonsmokers. It is especially important not to smoke in the presence of young children.
