This article details the effects of second hand smoke, specifically on women. In a study done of more than 10,000 adults, women showed a greater susceptibility to decreased lung function when exposed to second hand smoke. The women with the most decreased lung function was seen in those with asthma, however, women were affected more greatly than men in most cases. This can even occur in short term situations….so STOP SMOKING!

I personally hate hate hate it.

    I hate it so much too! When will they have a national ban on smoking? It is just so rude and disgusting when people smoke in places that you enjoy going to. They should have little air-tight rooms that people can go into to smoke and let them get the lung cancer, not us!
