Few days ago, I have become a fan of I HATE SMOKE in facebook. I feel so happy that still seeing a quite number of fans for I HATE SMOKE. In reality, I really hate smoke. But my surrounding are full with smoke, no matter I am at a mamak stall, going into my college toilet, college food court, late at nite where I am laying on my bed, I can smell the smoke somewhere that flow into my room, or the worst case, seeing some ash on my bed in the morning after I sleep all nite lik pig..lolx..there are another worst which meet some ethical smoker who smoke in the lift..This is really sucked!! In a box that full of smoke like heaven but u feeling like in the hell that u cant breath…
Yea, my uni is a smoke-FREE zone, but that just mentioned by a board...who cares??

When starting this blog, i have go thru some website and realize it is worse if u become a secondhand smoker than smoker (well, I mean 1st hand smoker). Actually all this awhile I know that secondhand smoker experience the worse condition, just dun really know is THIS WORST…lets see....

"Cigarettes produce about 12 minutes of smoke, yet the smoker may inhale only 30 seconds of smoke from their cigarette. The rest of the smoke lingers in the air for non-smokers and smokers to breathe. Second-hand smoke contains more than 4000 chemicals. Many of these chemicals are known to cause cancer."

Chemicals found in second-hand smoke include:
-carbon monoxide (found in your car’s exhaust)
-ammonia (found in window cleaners)
-cadmium (found in batteries)
-arsenic (found in rat poison)
No amount of second-hand smoke is safe.

According to Canadian CANCER society (CCS, not PKC** lolx..), Second-hand smoke causes sore eyes and throat, nasal irritation, headaches, coughing and wheezing, nausea and dizziness. You are also more likely to get colds. Breathing in second-hand smoke can also trigger asthma attacks and increase your chances of getting bronchitis and pneumonia.

If you have been exposed to second-hand smoke for a long time, you are more likely to develop and die from heart problems, breathing problems and lung cancer.

Do not tink that, u dun smoke then u will be safe and healty, that’s the WRONG perception!!

Secondhand smoke is classified as a "known human carcinogen" (cancer-causing agent) by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization. Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemical compounds. More than 60 of these are known or suspected to cause cancer.

After all, this sem i have seen traffic police bantuan are so responsible, many cars that do not park their car in the car park will receive a "XXX bak kua" (XXX mean u can fill in what u lik, mutton, chicken, pork,etc watever u lik lah..), i even witness a kembara with siren chasing a unwear helmet rider from lake side till inside the motorcycle parking place of my hostel..excellent job!!!! {applause for their hardwork in ensuring every motorist follow the rules}

i have another idea which they can actually trace and gv "bak KUA" to smoker aso..but initially these people should not smoke, coz if u smoke but u 'bak kua-ing' the people who smoke seems friendly fire-ing, not so good..lolx..perhaps there are some advise to those smoker, try to smoke ethically by not smoking at public. a lot of victims will be affected by your SMOKE..

There are alot of people who smoke around us. this is simply bcoz we are above 18 and we have the right to smoke and buying cigarrette, who can stop us?

Smoking-FREE zone are just not well implemented in some place which is public where the people have the freedom and rights to smoke.

One of the way is set a a JUST SMOKER corner where smoker can go in anytime to release themself. This is the way that we can minimize the number of secondhand smoker..

Secondhand SMOkER are human as well, they don't deserve to get a cancer or smoking-related illness just bcoz of their surrounding have smoker that smoke...

PLS PITY on SeCoNDHAND SMOKER!!!!
