Second-hand smoke comes from the tip of a cigarette and the smoke that is breathed back out by the smoker – it’s in the air where people smoke even thou it might be almost invisible and odourless. Even with windows open, second-hand smoke will still be present in a room two and a half hours after. Smoking in the car is the worst area to be in due to the concentration into a small space. As well as the smokers themselves, people who breathe second-hand smoke are at the same risk of cancer, heart disease etc and every year smoke causes thousands of deaths. Young children are particularly affected as their tiny bodies are still developing. Half of British children are growing up in homes where at least one parent is a smoker.
