Q. Can secondhand smoke cause cancer?
A. Yes, the official report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer also classifies secondhand smoke as a carcinogenic substance. Secondhand smoke is known to cause lung cancer in non-smokers, and in the United States, it has been confirmed that at least 3,000 people die annually from lung cancer due to secondhand smoke. Additionally, according to the official report from the U.S. Public Health Service, simply living with a smoker increases the risk of lung cancer by approximately 20-30%. Furthermore, in adults, the risk of developing breast cancer, nasal cavity cancer, and nasopharyngeal cancer is increased, and in children, the risks of leukemia, lymphoma, and brain tumors are elevated.
Q. What are the diseases other than cancer caused by secondhand smoke?
A. Secondhand smoke is associated with premature death among non-smokers. Inhaling sidestream smoke, which is exposure to secondhand smoke, irritates the airways and adversely affects the cardiovascular system in a short period of time. Additionally, the risk of heart disease, a representative form of coronary artery disease, increases by approximately 25-30%. It is reported that in the United States, about 46,000 deaths annually are attributed to secondhand smoke. Furthermore, the risk of stroke and arterial diseases is also said to be elevated.
Q. Is secondhand smoke worse for children?
Yes, children are more vulnerable to secondhand smoke because their organs and immune systems are not fully developed. If children are exposed to secondhand smoke, they may experience sudden infant death syndrome, otitis media, upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, bronchitis, and worsening of asthma symptoms, and developmental delays are also said to be related.
Q. Why is secondhand smoke considered worse than firsthand smoke?
According to various research findings, the smoke from secondhand smoke contains most of the components found in direct smoking. Therefore, secondhand smoke can cause most health problems that can arise from direct smoking, including lung cancer. Secondhand smoke not only causes discomfort due to cigarette smoke but can also lead to serious health issues such as lung cancer, respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. However, secondhand smoke is not necessarily worse than direct smoking. The misconception arises because most of the components in secondhand smoke are sidestream smoke, which has higher concentrations of toxic substances than mainstream smoke. Since direct smokers are exposed to both direct and secondhand smoke, direct smoking is naturally more harmful.
Q. What are secondhand and thirdhand smoke, and how do their risks differ? (Can thirdhand smoke also be dangerous?)
A. Secondhand smoking or indirect smoking refers to exposure to smoke generated while smoking and the smoke exhaled by the smoker. Thirdhand smoking or tertiary indirect smoking refers to exposure to residual tobacco smoke components that remain on surfaces of objects and in dust particles in the air after smoking has ceased, which are then re-emitted into the air. Secondhand smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, stroke, and coronary artery disease in adults, and respiratory diseases such as otitis media, asthma, and impaired lung function, as well as sudden infant death syndrome in children. Unlike secondhand smoking, thirdhand smoking can be inhaled through the mouth, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. Children who spend a lot of time indoors and frequently contact items like carpets, blankets, and curtains are at higher risk of exposure to thirdhand smoke. When parents smoke, the risk of thirdhand smoking increases further through contact with their clothes, hair, and skin. In the case of thirdhand smoking, vaporized components from smoking can be absorbed into walls and surrounding objects and may be re-released into the air over several months. Additionally, some toxic substances found in thirdhand smoke are known to include highly toxic chemicals not detected in first- or secondhand smoke, making it potentially dangerous.
Q. Is secondhand smoke from electronic cigarettes okay?
A. Electronic cigarettes are also harmful to health when exposed to secondhand smoke. Electronic cigarettes produce nicotine, ultrafine particles, volatile organic compounds, and other toxic aerosols. Exposure to these harmful substances can worsen respiratory diseases such as asthma and may negatively impact health, including increasing the risk of stroke and heart disease. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends not using electronic cigarettes indoors. Additionally, even nicotine-free electronic cigarettes have been found to contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein, which are detrimental to health. Consequently, exposure to secondhand smoke from electronic cigarettes, regardless of whether they contain nicotine, can be harmful to health, and caution should be exercised.

Non-smokers have no reason to be exposed to secondhand smoke.
I don't want to breathe cigarette smoke in public places... ㅠ_ㅠ

간접흡연 굉장히 불편하지요 안 맡을 수도 없고 어떻게 해야 되는지ㅠㅠ 모든 분들이 담배를 안 피시면 좋겠지만 그건 마음대로 할 수가 없잖아요ㅠㅠ
- 뉴페이스
길거리에서 흡연하는 행위도 과태료 처분해야된다고 생각해요. 흡연은 흡연장소에서만 태우게 해야된다고 봐요
- 팝콘
여기 저기 한두명씩 서서 담배피고 있는 골목을 지나갈때면 정말 돌아버리겠어요.. 그들은 알까요? 본인들이 얼마나 혐오적인지...
- 뉴페이스
진짜 저도 공감을 하는 바입니다. 담배연기 진짜 너무 싫어요. 그사람들이 태우는걸 왜 맡아야 되는건지
- 작누💓
이기적으로 담배 피고 다시는 사람들은 좀 정상적인 사고 방식으로 살아갔으면 좋겠습니다 간접흡연이 얼마나 위험한지... 백번 말해도 입 안아프죠 ㅠㅠ
- 뉴페이스
본인들이 남들에게 민폐짓을 한다는걸 알면서도 뻔뻔하게 그냥 하는거죠. 뭐어때? 이런식으로...
- 파워퀸
간접흡연이 정말 나쁘네요. 조심해야 겠네요.
- 뉴페이스
간접흡연은 정말 몸에 좋지 않습니다. 혈관이 수축되는 자료분석도 있었어요. 담배연기 진짜 최악입니다.
- 앱톰
흡연충이 그냥 흡연충이 아니지요 세상이 바뀌었죠 나처럼 끊던지 ᆢ
- 뉴페이스
정말 담배 끊고 쳐다도 안보시는 분들 대단해요 중독에서 벗어난 거 잖아요 잘하셨어요
- 걸어서출퇴근
제발 걸어디니면서 피지맙시다
- 뉴페이스
맞아요.. 아침 출근길에 기분좋게 가고 있는데 앞에서 걸어가면서 담배피면 뒤에 같은 방향으로 가는 사람은 어쩌란 건지.. 진짜 욕이 나와요.. 아침부터 짜증나고..
- 더달달
아... 비흡연자 입장에서는 간접흡연 넘 예민해져요.. 3차흡연도 있군요. 흡연자 분들도 자녀들 생각하면 집 밖에서 피우셔야겠어요
- 뉴페이스
네 비흡연자는 흡연자의 담배연기를 맡을 이유가 없어요 흡연자들을 길에서 담배 못피게 해야 한다고 생각해요
- 신나게💕💕🎶🎶🎶
간접흡연도 꽤나 높다고 이야기 들어서요 저는 담배연기만 스쳐지나가도 왠지 모르게 가슴이 답답해요 너무 담배연기가 예민한가봐요 담배 피우는 분이 계시면 코을 막고 지나가는 습관이 되어버려죠 😢
- 뉴페이스
요즘은 전담 같은거로 몰래 몰래 피는 사람들이 많더군요 그 연기도 몸에 안좋다고 하는데 무향으로 여기저기서 핀데요
- AA
이래서 흡연은... 외부에서도 흡연실이 괜히 따로 있는게 아니죠. 무조건 금연이 좋습니다!
- 뉴페이스
흡연실에서만 피고 공공장소에서는 절대 못피게 하면 간접흡연피해자들이 좀 줄어들지 않을까 싶어요
- 민트초코아이스
매우 공감합니다ㅜ 난 건강 지키려고 노력하는데 주변에서 피우고 간접흡연하게 해서 진짜 스트레스예요 우리 집 아랫층 집도 왜 자꾸 화장실에서 담배를 피워서 간접흡연으로 고통받게 하는지ㅠ가뜩에나 몸도 안 좋은데
- 뉴페이스
정말 아랫층에서 몰상식한 분이 계신가보네요.. 정말 짜증이 많이 나시겠어요. 확실하게 문제 삼으셔야 해요. 관리소장에게 문제제기하셔야 겠어요
- 고우경
그래도 요즘은 사람들 인식이 좋아져서 간접흡연 잘 안하는거 같아요 불과 얼마전만해도 아무데서나 막 피웠는데 요샌 별로 맡을일이 없는거 같아요

시대가 변하고 있는데 갈수록 더 좋아져야죠~ 하지만 지금도 많이 변해야 하는 곳들이 곳곳에 많답니다

간접흡연 정말 나쁜것 같아요. 비흡연자도 왠지 흡연자와 함께 공간에 있어도 정말 목도 컬컬하고 왠지 흡연자처럼 뭔가 목이 많이 불편함감을 느끼곤 한답니다. 그것이 정말 수명도 깍이는 현상이군요
- 뉴페이스
진짜 목이 너무 아파요 담배연기가 진짜 독연기와 다를께 없어요. 목도 아프고 가래까지 생기더라구요
- 팝콘
아 오늘도 출근길에 지하철 입구옆에서 담배피는 사람들 몇명 때문에 입구 안으로 담배연기 날라 들어왔어요.. 진짜 ...에휴..
- 뉴페이스
아 정말 지하철 출구 올라가는데 연기가 들어오면 그것도 정말 최악이죠. 올라오면서 어떤놈인가 싶어서 찾아보게 되요
- H ᆞY ᆞS
직접 흡연보다 더 간접 흡연이 무섭네요 아마도 그래서 남성보다 여성이 폐암이 많은 통계도 있더군요 고맙습니다 도움이 됩니다
- 뉴페이스
직접흡연이 당연히 더 나쁩니다만 직접흡연이야 직접흡연자의 문제니까 상관없죠 간접흡연자는 바라지도 않는 흡연을 당해야 되니까 문제구요...ㅠ.ㅠ
- 풀에버
길거리에서 담배 좀 안.피웠으면 좋겠어요. 숨쉬기가.너무 어려워요. 울집에는 담배 피는 사람없어서 더 그런듯 합니다.
- 뉴페이스
맞아요. 집에 담배피는 사람이 없는게 요즘은 거의 당연한 분위기이죠 ^^
- 귀염동이♡
간접흡연 당하는사람은 고통스럽겠어요 아예 길바닥에서 담배못피우게하고 정해진 곳 흡연부스있는곳에서만 필수있게 해줘야 할거같아요 제주위에도 그냥 막피워요
- 뉴페이스
그렇습니다. 간접흡연을 당해야 할 이유는 아무것도 없어요. 절대 간접흡연 노논~
- 진이♡진이
어린이들앞에서 횡단보도 및 걸어가면서 피는것들은 패 죽 이 고 싶 어 요 싱가포르 🇸🇬 처럼 금연구역 길거리에도 해주시길 법으로ㄱ
- 뉴페이스
완전 맞는 말씀이에요 옆에 아이들이 있는데도 담배 입에 물고 있는 것들은 진짜 버러지 같이 보여요. 인간말종들 집에 자식도 없는 외국인들인가 싶어요
