Thoughts? could second hand have the same benefits as smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Benefits: I hope you mean the same health risks. There are no known benefits to smoking & many health issues directly related to smoking. As for 2nd hand smoke, the risks are about the same but just not as likely & it takes longer for the diseases to develop. Still, any risk that can be avoided is best avoided!
