The effects of secondary smoking are immense. Sadly tobacco not only secretly kills the person smoking but also any person around who inadvertently inhales the same as effects of secondary smoking. Sidestream smoke has higher concentrations of cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) and is more toxic than mainstream smoke.

While the world health organization has termed tobacco a
gradual killer, the number of tobacco consumer continues
to grow rapidly. Sad as it may sound, this killer not only secretly kills the person smoking the tobacco but also any person around who inadvertently inhales the same.

Apart from Lung Cancer, smoking also increases the
risk of at least 13 other cancers including cancers of the
larynx (voice box), oesophagus (gullet), mouth and pharynx (throat), bladder, pancreas, kidney, liver, stomach, bowel, cervix, ovary, nose and sinus, and some types of leukaemia. I strongly believe that if a person cant give up smoking
for their own health, then the health of their family or
people close to him could be a stronger motivation.

Years of researches by several leading health
authorities have confirmed passive smoking as a cause
of Lung Cancer. Not just that, having the biggest mortality rate among all kinds of cancers, this disease is the most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. Globally, every year 1.8 million people fall prey to it out of which 1.6 million die because of it. In India, the number of new cases increased from around 65,000 in 2009 to 90,000 in 2013, registering 15-20% increase annually. www.drarvindkumar.com
We all know that the survival rate from lung cancer is
better the earlier it is caught. But we also must realize
that the need to understand the early symptoms is important for both smokers & non- smokers alike.

cough attributing it to something else and thats where
