Of all the people who we have helped to
stop smoking, the number
one reason they give for wanting to
stop smoking is, not
surprisingly, their health. Following a close second though, is
for their children. Whether it's being worried that their
smoke will harm their children, or just being fed up at having to go
and stand in the garden for ten minutes to have a
cigarette in the
middle of winter! The truth is,
passive smoking kills... and not just
children... it kills partners... it kills friends... it even kills
your pet cats and dogs.
Cigarette smoke contains thousands of
chemicals, many of which are
highly toxic, several of which are known to be
cancer causing
agents.
 3,600
people are killed by passive smoking in the UK every year
Smoke produced at the tip of a
cigarette enters the
atmosphere in two ways. What is known as 'mainstream'
smoke travels through the cigarette, through the materials contained
it, usually through a filter, and then is further filtered by the
lungs of the
smoker. This smoke is then breathed out into the
atmosphere. What isn't commonly known, is that the smoke that
travels directly from the burning tip into the room, or
'sidestream'
smoke, is much more
dangerous.
The
dangerous chemicals released in sidestream smoke are
basically the same as in the mainstream smoke, but are in
much higher concentrations.
Carbon monoxide, for
example, can be up to 15 times more concentrated in sidestream
smoke. This is what your children, friends and other loved
ones (including your cats and dogs) breathe in.
I
don't just want to stop smoking for me...
I want to stop smoking for my kids.
Smoking parents can
cause breathing
difficulties, coughing, asthma and ear problems in their children,
and those children are 200% as likely to go on to
smoke in the
future.
