Is being around someone that smokes while there smoking as bad as smoking yourself?


Question:


Answers:
No. Secondhand smoke is bad for you, no one is denying that. But when people say that it is worse for than actually smoking, that's just not true.

When you are around someone who smokes, you are not constantly inhaling smoke. Think about the quantity of smoke you breathe verses how much the smoker inhales. Don't forget about all the secondhand smoke that the smoker is breathing in as well, in addition to what they are already inhaling.

Prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke is dangerous, but it is not nearly as bad as smoking yourself.
For what I know, it is bad
If you are constantly around the smoker than yes. Second-hand smoke is unfiltered, unlike the smoke that the actual smoker is inhaling. So it is actually more harmful than the smoke the smoker is inhaling. That is why it is so dangerous to your health. Try to stay away from second-hand smoke as much as possible.
yup!! because you will have NICOTIN in your lungs which will make you breathe harder^_^
NO!
its more worst than you smoke..
