Stop Smoking: Good news for those who despise second hand smoke -  Cancer Karma for Smokers. Chain-Smokers are exposed to the cancer-trigger equivalents of smoking 2.6 extra cigarettes a day – according to new research findings.

Italian government scientists conducted a study on newspaper vendors, who tend to work in isolation.

“Newsagents were chosen because they work alone in small news stands, meaning that any tobacco smoke in the air they breathe is strictly correlated to the number of cigarettes smoked by that newsagent,” said researcher Maria Teresa Piccardo from the National Cancer Research Institute in Genoa.

“We studied the contribution of environmental tobacco smoke made to carcinogen exposure in 15 active smokers.

“For someone smoking 14 cigarettes a day, re-inhaling exhaled “second-hand” smoke resulted in an exposure to cancer-triggers equivalent to smoking an extra 2.6 cigarettes.

“Both active and passive smoking contributions should always be considered in studies about the health of active smokers,” said Ms Piccardo.

The research is published online in the journal Environmental Health.
