Of course no amount of cigarette smoke is safe. Neither are the emissions from your car, school bus, cellphone, aircraft, wood burning stove or laser printer for your photographic print(s) as the average printer releases toner particles that can get deep into the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And I’m a big offender in that meat = methane (goodbye bacon!), etc…
“Over 24 million children ride the bus to school every day and as a result are regularly exposed to harmful diesel exhaust emissions. Major components of diesel exhaust include carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, formaldehyde and tiny soot particles that carry substances called polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies diesel emissions as a “likely carcinogen.” Diesel emissions are estimated to be responsible for 70 percent of the cancer risk arising from air pollution, according to the California Air Resources Board. Dangers from diesel exhaust can range from respiratory illnesses including asthma and bronchitis to lung cancer and heart disease.”
So please, can’t I just have that one last smoke in peace…
