SMOKING CIGARETTES
Now that we are talking about the health of the workers, we
cannot forget to touch upon the dangers and harms of smoking.
In this occasion, however, we do not want to refer neither to the
rules concerning the prohibition of smoking in public places, nor
to the dangers occurring to the smokers.
We only want to touch upon the harms of the passive smoking, i.e.
what the smokers cause to the non-smokers.
The smoke of tobacco contains about 2000 substances and 24
metals.
The presence of smoke in public places is reknown, but non
everyone knows that the inhalation of smoke (passive smoke) is very
dangerous and it increases the nearest the smoker is.
It is also true that the smoker himself is affected more by the
passive smoke of his cigarette than by the one he inhalates directly.
According to recent studies, the passive smoke increases to the
30% the possibility of contracting a pulmonary cancer.
