whats worse smoking or second hand smoking?

Question

I had 1 puff of regular smoking..... but im always at bars where i get 2 hand smoke what is worse ?

Answer 1

Smoking is definately worse for you, and I'll explain in a bit. First of all, being in a bar with second hand smoke will be worse than just one puff of a cigarette, because you are being continuously exposed.. But I highly doubt if it's enough to give you lung cancer, unless you would have gotten it anyway. Some people are just more suseptible to cancer.

Second hand smoke, however, is not worse for you than smoking itself, and here's why. People say that the worst part of the cigarette is filtered out into the air, but if you are a smoker, you inhale the smoke from the cigarette, AND you are breathing the second hand smoke. Therefore, it just doesn't make sense that someone breathing two kinds of smoke is better off than the person breathing the second hand smoke.

Answer 2

Well, since the smoker is getting both the same general air being breathed by the non-smoker in her presence and is also getting the intentionally and deeply inhaled concentration of filth directly through the burning cigarette, I'd say the 1st-hand smoker is much worse off. Not only that, but a lot of the smoke filling a room's atmosphere has been filtered, not just by the filter of the cigarette, but also by the poor smoker's tired, aching, sticky lungs.

2nd-hand is by its nature more removed from anything than 1st-hand, so it just figures that way, whether for the better or for the worse. It's hard to get high in a room full of other people smoking pot when you take no hits yourself, you know? Same with regular cigarettes, it would seem.

Answer 3

Smoking the cigarette yourself is typically worse. Although much has been made of second hand smoke, there has never been any evidence that second hand smoke is directly responsible for anyone contracting a smoking related illness, such as cancer. With that said, second hand smoke cannot be good for you, either.

In the grand scheme of thing, the occasional cigarette or hanging out in smoky places a few hour a weeks are not going to kill you. Just be cautious that the latter doesn't develop into a smoking habit.

Answer 4

Both, because if you are smoking you know what you're going to deal with but if you don't smoke and are revealed for second hand smoking then you are in a trouble with having no fault at all. But smoking causes more danger than second hand smoking.

Answer 5

yep on odd occasions I also puff even inhale it's like a boot in the head reminds me of misspent youth. It is however worse than 2nd hand stuff however neither are good so look out for other places you can go to where your body won't be subjected to this kind of abuse some places that are more upmarket hopefully they are more thoughtful about your health furthermore parks and gardens can also be good for a change and the views can be incredible. The year has just started so go for a change even if only for a bit of a change It's like a holiday and the fresher air will put a spring in your step .........it's so good to be able to breath deeply

Answer 6

Smoking.

Answer 7

Air Pollution Without A Doubt

Answer 8

Second-hand smoke (also called passive smoke or environmental tobacco smoke) is the combination of smoke from a burning cigarette and smoke exhaled by a smoker.

The smoke that burns off the end of a cigarette or cigar actually contains more harmful substances than the smoke inhaled by the smoker. This means that people who don't smoke but are regularly around those who smoke are exposed to the health risks of cigarette smoking.
Even if you don't smoke but are exposed to second-hand smoke on a regular basis, your body will absorb nicotine and other harmful substances just as smokers' bodies do. In addition, the longer you are around second-hand smoke, the greater the level of harmful substances in your body. As a result, you might have an increased risk of developing smoking-related disorders, including:

Lung cancer
Heart disease
Emphysema
Eye and nasal irritation

Answer 9

I think smoking is dangerous whether its direct smoking or the second hand smoking. The thing is that the one who got affected in the second hand smoking is the one who will be punished for no fault of his.

Answer 10

If given the same amount, obviously smoking is worse...The second hand smoke is filtered by the smoker.
