The World Health Organization announced on November 26, 2010, that its study shows about 600,000 people around the world die from secondhand smoke each year. Even more disturbing, approximately 165,000 of these deaths are defenseless and innocent children.
'She gave life to this human being, and now she is taking it away, one breath at a time'¦.'
The World Health Organization (WHO) study found that 600,000 people die each year from secondhand smoke (SHS)'”it must being getting people's attention because 'SecondHand Smoke' now has an acronym: SHS.
SHS is the inhalation of smoke by people not smoking, which is caused by people smoking tobacco products in an environment where tobacco smoke permeates, such as any closed room or enclosure (like the inside of a car). Secondhand smoke is also called passive smoke and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).
The WHO study also announced that 165,000 of these deaths are among children.
People who smoke products made from nicotine (such as from cigarettes) kill more than just themselves. They harm, and even kill, family members, friends, and even total strangers who are near to them as they smoke.
The WHO report showed that smokers place at risk about 1.8 billion non-smokers, these family members, friends, and strangers just happen to be close enough to them when these people are smoking tobacco products.
