| Exposure to secondhand smoke, also known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), can cause toxic buildup in people who don't smoke. Secondhand smoke can even lead to colon cancer by damaging genes of anyone exposed to it.
The risk of getting cancer from secondhand smoke is approximately 100 times greater than the risk from outdoor contaminants alone. This is especially unsettling in a society where nearly one in four people smoke!65 The nonsmoker can be exposed to tobacco smoke in the workplace, at home, in restaurants and bars, and in other public places. |

 Over 4,000 different chemical compounds, including heavy metals and pesticides, have so far been found in tobacco smoke. More than 50 of these are known carcinogens and others are suspected mutagens which can cause harmful changes in the genetic material of living cells.12 Visible tobacco smoke represents only about 5 to 8 percent of the chemicals released from a burning cigarette. The rest are invisible. Some of these chemicals include: lead, carbon monoxide, vinyl chloride, hydrogen cyanide, benzene, ammonia, acetone, and nicotine. |

How to Eliminate Toxins from Tobacco Smoke
• Quit smoking! You may need a support group to help you.
• Avoid smoking inside the home. Go outside to smoke (at least 1 00 feet away from the house).
• When you have the urge to smoke, distract yourself with an activity of some kind or take a short walk.
• Ask visitors to step out of the home if they must smoke.
• When going to restaurants and other public places, ask ahead of time if they are smoke-free or have designated non-smoking areas. |

 In the view of many health experts in the first half of the twentieth century, animal experiments showing that tars from tobacco smoke produced tumors, as well as autopsies on lung cancer victims who had been tobacco smokers, yielded black-and-white proof of the dangers of tobacco. The tobacco industry was able to count on those who argued, then as now, that when it comes to understanding how humans respond to a given toxicant, the only definite proof arises when researchers can amass sufficient numbers of ill and dead people. |

| The nonsmoker can be exposed to tobacco smoke in the workplace, at home, in restaurants and bars, and in other public places. However, I'm glad to say, many metropolitan governments are now enacting measures to ban cigarette smoke in all interior environments.
So far, fourteen states have implemented significant anti-smoking laws. Nine of these states ban smoking in nearly all workplaces. This is encouraging but we still have a long way to go. Children and non-smoking adults continue to suffer from the ill effects of secondhand smoke in their own homes due to the presence of others whom smoke. |

TIP: AVOID READING WHEN TRAVELING
Make a point not to read when traveling by car or train, since looking down and focusing can make motion sickness worse. Instead, concentrate on looking ahead at the horizon, since this can actually reduce dizziness, disorientation, and nausea.

| Some people have asthmatic reactions to tobacco smoke, strong perfumes or smoke from fires. If they are tested they are not allergic to the tobacco particles or wood ash, but nevertheless the body reacts to them by going into bronchial spasm. Sometimes this reaction is called twitchy airways, or irritable airways. Whatever its name, it can result in asthma just as surely as allergic asthma. However, because there is no inflammation of the air passages, when the irritant disappears recovery is much quicker than after an allergic attack. |
| Anything that will rid the environment of dust, pollens, fumes, tobacco smoke, cooking smells, mildew, airborne particles and the like will reduce potential asthma triggers and thus help people with asthma.

 Reducing your exposure to toxins is an important way to protect the body, but many times toxins are simply unavoidable; they are in air pollution, tobacco smoke, pesticide residue, and some artificial flavors and colorings. The liver can be hit especially hard by toxins, since the job of the liver is to clear the blood of poisonous substances before they have a chance to reach other parts of the body. |
| Because of the numerous free radicals in tobacco smoke, smokers have much higher lipid peroxide levels than nonsmokers; which partially accounts for the increased risk of heart disease in smokers. Accordingly, Dr. Imai found that lipid peroxides were greatly increased in the subset of his study population comprising men who smoked. However, heavy smokers who were also among the most dedicated green tea drinkers (more than ten cups daily) had lipid peroxide profiles similar to nonsmokers. |
| Although not smoking is the obvious first choice for health, regular consumption of green tea may offer those who do smoke some protection from the carcinogens that are present in tobacco smoke.12

 For example, tobacco smoke contains precursors to advanced glycation end products, which increase AGE levels in the body. Foods that have been subjected to processing and heat also act as sources of AGEs.33 The author concurs with Julian Whitaker, MD, that fructose is a "highly reactive molecule that readily attaches to proteins, changing their structure and interfering with normal activity. Studies show that fructose accelerates glycosylation, damaging proteins to a significantly greater degree than sucrose or glucose. |

 The toxic elements in tobacco smoke can damage the DNA in our hair follicles, as well as the tiny blood vessels nourishing our hair and skin.These and other mechanisms speed up the premature aging process.
Many people think having prematurely gray hair is a sign of stress, and there's some truth to this. One theory is that stress can precipitate autoimmune diseases or the other conditions mentioned above that can cause graying.

| Many homes built before 1940 are danger zones, especially if lead pipes haven't been replaced and the walls were painted with lead-based paints. tobacco smoke can also contain dangerous amounts of lead. People who smoke or who are exposed to secondhand smoke are prime candidates for lead poisoning.
Lead poisoning can occur from inhaling or ingesting the toxic metal. Around 90% of lead inhaled into the lungs is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Most of it is absorbed into the bones, but some lead makes its way to soft tissues and organs. |

| The bronchitis can be the result of an infection such as a cold or flu, or irritation by foreign substances, particularly tobacco smoke and air pollution. The condition can be acute—of fairly short duration—or chronic, when it can lead to emphysema. Chronic bronchitis may be treated medically using some of the same drugs that are prescribed for asthma, as the aim in both cases is to reduce the production of mucus and increase the flow of air through the bronchi.

 Others include dioxins, asbestos, and particulate matter (those are the particles produced by the combustion of diesel, gasoline, and other fuels, and tobacco smoke). Air pollution caused by particulate matter so small that it can't be seen is what aggravates and leads to respiratory (and cardiovascular) problems—and even death. How? Particles from the polluted air that are too small to be filtered out by the cilia travel deep into the lungs. |

 For example, tobacco smoke is a well-known carcinogen, but not every smoker develops cancer. The reason is that some people, for genetic reasons, are far better than others at breaking down and disposing of toxins. Diet interacts with these factors—some foods, such as cruciferous vegetables, contain vitamin-like substances that enhance the body's ability to detoxify and neutralize tobacco smoke, smog, alcohol, pesticides, and other hazardous chemicals.

 Levulinic acid reduces the pH of tobacco smoke, making it easier for smokers to inhale cigarette smoke deeper into the lungs.

The Federal Trade Commission utilized machines to rate cigarettes by the amount of tar and nicotine they produced in tobacco smoke. These machines underestimated the amount of tar and nicotine actually delivered to the lungs because they didn't calculate for the deeper puffs smokers took when using reduced tar and nicotine cigarettes.

There is no difference in lung cancer risk for smokers who use reduced tar cigarettes compared to those who smoke regular cigarettes.
