"Secondhand smoke is a known health danger. 53,800 people die each year from secondhand smoke, including death from heart disease, lung cancer, and other diseases. Scientific research has become so comprehensive that not only has scientists been able to pinpoint the effects of secondhand smoke on specific organs, but also on specific types of workers.
