Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard that affects not only smokers, but also non-smokers who are exposed to it. When tobacco smoke is released into the air, it contaminates the indoor environment and can cause serious health problems. In this blog, we’ll explore the effects of secondhand smoke on indoor air quality and health and what you can do to protect your family.

Secondhand smoke is made up of thousands of toxic chemicals, including carbon monoxide, lead, and cancer-causing agents. When inhaled, these chemicals can cause serious health problems, including heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory problems. Secondhand smoke can also cause eye irritation, headaches, and allergic reactions in non-smokers.

To protect your family from the dangers of secondhand smoke, it’s important to eliminate smoking indoors. If you or someone in your family smokes, encourage them to smoke outside or use a designated smoking area away from the indoor environment.

In addition to eliminating smoking indoors, you can improve indoor air quality and protect your family from secondhand smoke by regularly maintaining your air conditioning system.
