A member asked:
Is second-hand smoke more dangerous than normal smoke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessary: Second -hand smoke is not as dangerous although there is some feeling that it may get deeper into your lung by being more soluble (in the water vapor present in the air). I am not aware of any study confirming the latter however.
