It turned out that pollutants from vehicle fumes fewer ingredients are harmful to health than cigarette smoke.Various studies describe that in cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 toxic chemicals (toxic) and 43 cancer-causing compounds (carcinogens). This explains why cigarette smoke is more dangerous than car exhaust.
Besides the scientific evidence has also shown an association between smoking with the occurrence of various diseases such as cancer, heart disease, respiratory system diseases, reproductive disorders and diseases of pregnancy.
According to Dr. H Azimal, Kes, Director of Communicable Disease Control No. Kemenkes, cigarette smoke blown into the table if a bit difficult to lose because it is sticky.
"What if the smoke into the lungs more and can be more numerous?" He said during a media briefing in Jakarta, recently.
dr Azimal said more than 43 million Indonesian children living with smokers and are exposed to household cigarette smoke or passive smoking. If these children are often exposed to smoke so he could experience a slow lung growth, more susceptible to bronchitis, respiratory infections, ear and asthma.
"If in a house her father smoked and there was a baby, the baby could have impaired growth," said Dr. Azimal.
It is estimated that the smell of cigarette smoke is difficult to lose this because cigarette smoke is made of long chains of molecules, so it took a long or difficult to remove, especially on the cloth. Besides cigarette smoke produced generally contain many substances or residues.
The number of negative impacts that can be generated from cigarette smoke to one's health that makes cigarette smoke more to get attention, although it does not mean that fumes are not dangerous because it still contains compounds that are toxic to the body.
