SECOND-HAND SMOKE

A lit cigarette is like a little toxic waste dump on fire, giving out health-endangering smoke.  It affects the people around you, especially children. 

80-85% of smoke is actually INVISIBLE.  What you see when you smoke a cigarette is only a very small percentage.  There is NO safe level of second-hand smoke.

If you stop smoking then not only will your health improve, but the health of your loved ones will too!   Learn more here: Second-Hand Smoke
