    Second-hand smoke is indeed much more harmful than first-hand smoke, because when the smoker inhales cigarettes, only less than 10% of the harmful substances in the smoke produced by cigarettes are inhaled into the lungs of smokers, and all the remaining smoke will be emitted into the air. At this time, in the smoke formed by second-hand smoke, the surrounding non-smokers inhale relatively more harmful substances, and the harm is naturally greater.

    Also, secondhand smoke lasts longer than firsthand smoke.

People around who smoke passively are exposed to secondhand smoke for a longer period of time.
