Second Hand Smoke

Do you know any Non-Smokers with lung cancer..?

I have known a few and it always puzzled me. Until I started reading many of the medical reporting on smoking and lung cancer. One main reason for lung cancer striking a non-smoker is Second Hand Smoke.

Second Hand Smoke kills thousands every year. Including children. Did you ever hear a smoker say smoking may cause cancer but thats only his concern, not ours..? Well, that isn't true. It should concern smokers and non-smokers because every year thousands die from it and even more thousands suffer health problems because of it.

I'll never forget the story of one young mother who was enjoying perfect health. Or, so she thought. Until the day she coughed up blood. And what a terrible shock when her doctor told her she had inoperable cancer. She had never smoked.

But her family did. Second hand smoke is toxic not only to others but especially to children. Thousands need hospital help each year because of the side effects from breathing in the smoke from nearby smokers. And thousands of children also die from this. This is shocking stuff.

The good news is we can stop smoking and actually add years to our life and life to our years. And we will be helping others do the same. Its not the easiest thing to kick but I can tell you from experience its one of the best things we can do for our future. And the future of non-smokers we live with. There are so many medical reports confirming the great health value that comes to those that quit. We can actually undo a lot of the damage already done. That will help us to live longer and to live better. Do this for yourself. Do this for others.
