These studies not only point out the bad effects of smoking on smokers-non-smokers are also obviously influenced by friends, family members and strangers who light cigarettes in front of them.
[20] A steady stream of reports records the statistical risk of cancer or heart disease, even if you never put a cigarette to your lips.
[2 1] The American Heart Association released a seven-year study last fall, which showed that the spouse of a smoker who never smoked was more than 20% more likely to die of coronary heart disease than those who never smoked with a smoker. That study further promoted the movement to ban smoking in workplaces and other public places.
[22] Research shows that smoking also has a great influence on smokers' children. Dr Claude hanet, a doctor at St Luc University Hospital in Brussels, said earlier this year that babies born to smoking mothers "should be regarded as former smokers".
[23] hanet's research warns that the younger you are, the greater the harm of smoking.
[24] A study published in the British Journal of Cancer by the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom shows that fathers who smoke may be related to the increase in cancer incidence of their children, while studies in the United States show that smoking may be related to DNA damage.

[19] This study not only points out the harm of smoking to smokers themselves, but also points out that non-smokers are obviously hurt by friends, family members or strangers who smoke in front of them.
[20] Continuous reports prove through statistics that even if you never smoke, you are at risk of cancer or heart disease.
[2 1] Last autumn, the American Heart Association published a seven-year research report, which pointed out that although the spouses of smokers never smoked, compared with those who lived with non-smokers, their risk of dying of coronary heart disease was 20% higher. This survey has further promoted the development of smoking ban activities in workplaces and public places.
[22] The survey also shows that the children of smokers are also deeply influenced by smoking. Earlier this year, Dr Claude hanet of Sanluca University Hospital said that children born to smoking mothers "should be regarded as people with a history of smoking".
[23] hanet's research has attracted people's attention: the younger you are, the greater the harm of smoking.
[24] A report published in the British Journal of Cancer by the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom shows that smoking by fathers may be related to the rising cancer rate of their children; At the same time, American research shows that smoking may be related to DNA damage.
2. What are the risks of smoking?
Smoking is harmful to health
More than 30 years ago, before Dr. Luther L. Terry, the then American medical director, published the first report on smoking and health in his office, thousands of articles had discussed the influence of smoking on human body.
[2] Tobacco companies have refuted these reports that show the link between smoking and cancer and other serious diseases, and they have conducted denial and competing studies.
[3] Therefore, in 1964, Terry and his Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health knew that when they announced that "smoking is harmful to health, which has attracted enough attention in the United States and requires appropriate remedial measures", they were entering a big pit of debate.
[4] This is the first time that the United States has widely publicized that smoking can cause serious diseases.
[5] But this problem has not been solved in 1964, nor in 1997, despite the fact that thousands of studies have been carried out-and lawsuits have forced at least one tobacco company to admit what some activists have long known: smoking is harmful to health.
[6] More than 30 years later, in more than 20 reports of medical directors, it seems that this problem is more and more inclined to be solved in court, rather than in the laboratory.
[1] More than 30 years ago, before Dr. Luther L. Terry, then the director of the US Health Bureau, published his first report on smoking and health since he took office, thousands of articles on the impact of smoking on human health had been published.
[2] Tobacco companies are resistant to these reports that show the relationship between smoking and cancer and other diseases-denying these reports and presenting competing research reports.
[3] So, in 1964, Terry and his Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health understood that when they announced that "smoking is harmful to health, people in the United States should pay enough attention to it and it is necessary to take appropriate remedial measures", they stepped into a controversial pit.
[4] It was the first time in America that it was widely publicized that smoking would cause serious diseases.
[5] But this problem has not been solved in 1964, and it has not been solved in 1997, although thousands of studies have been done-and the lawsuit has forced at least one tobacco company to admit what some anti-smoking activists have said, which is actually what they have always understood: smoking is harmful to human health.
[6] In the past 30 years, more than 20 health bureau directors have submitted reports. Since then, the problem seems to be solved in court, not in the laboratory.
