The environmental tobacco that comes off a cigarette between puffs carries a higher risk than directly inhaled smoke.
All secondhand smoke emitted by tobacco products are classified as environmental tobacco
smoke. Environmental tobacco smoke refers to all the secondhand smoke released from
tobacco products that are lit, such as cigars or cigarettes. Research indicates that
the smoke from cigars and cigarettes releases many of the same types of irritants.
Both cigar and cigarette environmental tobacco smoke contain nicotine, carbon monoxide,
hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia. The environmental tobacco smoke from cigars and cigarettes
also releases well-known carcinogens such as vinyl chlorine, benzene, arsenic, hydrocarbons
, and nitrosamines. Cigars, because of their size, usually release more environmental
tobacco smoke than cigarettes. Being around cigar smoke, then, can pose more of a health
threat than inhaling secondhand smoke from a lit cigarette.
Children who grow up in a home where one or both of their parents smoke have twice the risk of getting asthma and asthmatic bronchitis.
