Is second hand smoke as harmful as smoking?

Hello @cancerdepulmon

How are you feeling today? :)

Thank you for opening this very important discussion. The harmful effects of smoking are well documented and second hand smoking is no different. It is always better to maintain a fair distance away wile they are smoking.

I shall tag members who could give their 2 cents on the matter-

What do you think about second hand smoking and its negative effects? How do you actively try to avoid smoking or fumes from smoking?

Eager to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Being around smoke occasionally can still be a concern, even if you’ve stopped smoking. I used to be in a similar situation where I’d be around friends who smoked. I found that using a Packman disposable helped me steer clear of secondhand smoke. It’s not a perfect solution, but it helped me avoid cravings and keep my distance from the fumes. It might be worth trying something similar if you find yourself in smoky environments.
