Cigarette smoking in public places effects non-smokers


Information collected from research articles and newspapers.
” Smoking Effects: One million Indians die every year from tobacco-related diseases. Cigarette smoking is the primary cause of lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), coronary artery disease and a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. It is also the primary cause of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.”
“Passive smoking: It is also called environmental smoke exposure. It is the phenomenon where non-smokers involuntarily inhale the smoke of nearby smokers. Wives, children and friends of smokers are a highly risk -prone group.
Passive smoking is associated with an overall 23 per cent increase in risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) among men and women who had never smoked. A lot of harm is caused due to the inhaling of the sidestream smoke.”
“Sidestream smoke: It is the smoke issued from the burning end of a cigarette between puffs. Mainstream smoke, as distinguished from side-stream smoke, is the one that is exhaled by the smoker after inhalation.
Sidestream smoke contains three times more nicotine, three times more tar and about 50 times more ammonia. Inhalation of sidestream smoke by a non-smoker is definitely more harmful to him than to the actual smoker as he inhales more toxins.”
“Supreme Court directed all states and Union Territories to immediately issue orders banning smoking in public places and public transports, including railways.”
“The order banning smoking in public places would include hospitals, health institutes, public offices, public transports including railways, court buildings, educational institutions, libraries and auditoriums, the court said. ”
“How practical is it to regularly pick up people seen smoking on the road or in other public places and take them to court? Does our police force have the time, manpower and infrastructure to concentrate on smoking offenders, unless they institute a separate `anti-smoking squad’? ”
“He had been smoking for the last three years in public places. Now the change is he would cover his cigarette if he saw a policeman or if it came to the worst, he would pay a fine, he said. He agreed that he was polluting the air around him.”
“In such cases, clearly the urge to smoke seems to subdue one’s sense of social responsibility in public places. “

Xiaomi says that a pre-orders will begin for the 1080p version tomorrow, while a beta version for the 4k version will be given out to select users. In true Xiaomi fashion, the device is priced astonishingly low compared to competitor models. Chinese manufacturer DJI’s Phantom 3 drone, for example, sells for $800. The drone marks Xiaomi’s most ambitious product yet, and comes at a pivotal moment for the company.
