Secondhand smoke includes both mainstream smoke from smokers and sidestream smoke coming straight out of paper cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Secondhand smoke contains more than 4,000 substances, including more than 40 cancer-related toxins. In secondhand smoke, the release rate of many compounds in sidestream smoke tends to be higher than in mainstream smoke.

The World Health Organization's report shows that the harm of smoking to humans is multifaceted, mainly causing asthma, pneumonia, lung cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and reproductive development. Among them, second-hand smoke is no less harmful to passive smokers than active smokers, especially to children and adolescents. Surveys show that in our country, the main victims of passive smoking are women and children, who are often exposed to second-hand smoke in their homes and public places, although they do not smoke themselves.

In addition, workplaces and venues often become places where secondhand smoke is rampant. Although cigarettes are not smoked directly, they can still cause harm to the body when inhaled into the body, even more harmful than smokers.

As for the so-called mainstream and side stream, tobacco smoke can be divided into mainstream tobacco smoke and side stream tobacco smoke according to the different ways in which the smoker smokes in the process of smoking.

Mainstream tobacco smoke refers to tobacco smoke inhaled from the end of the cigarette when the smoker smokes a cigarette; Side-stream tobacco smoke is tobacco smoke produced when it smolders between puffs (a slow-burning phenomenon without flame) from the burning end of a cigarette.

Studies have shown that when smokers smoke, the edge part of the cigarette burns more violently, and the cigarette** part burns more violently between puffs.

Therefore, the chemical composition of mainstream tobacco smoke is dominated by the partial combustion products of the edge of the cigarette, while the partial combustion products of the cigarette** have a higher concentration in the side-stream tobacco smoke. Secondhand smoke exposure refers to inhalation or exposure to secondhand smoke in an environment where secondhand smoke is present, also known as "passive smoking".

Not equal. Secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoking, ambient tobacco smoke, is a mixture of smoke released from the burning end of cigarettes or other tobacco products and exhaled by the smoker.

Secondhand smoke is actually made up of two types of smoke, one is the smoke exhaled by the smoker, known as mainstream smoke; One is the smoke produced when cigarettes are burned, which is called sidestream smoke. Non-smokers are secondhand smoke, no matter what kind of smoke they inhale.

Tobacco combustion produces more than 7,000 smoke chemicals, of which at least 250 are harmful substances and more than 50 are carcinogens.

These harmful substances mainly include nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, amines, phenols, alkanes, alcohols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and heavy metal elements nickel and cadmium, as well as organic pesticides.
