" snuff smoke is the main pollutant in the places where we spent most of the day: indoors either at home or work. So we have to work to try to reduce each more exposure. This is the most cost-effective way to prevent both smoking and its consequences , "said PRO-HEALTH News Dr. Marta Angueira, Program Coordinator of Tobacco Prevention and Control (PPCT), Ministry of Health the Government of the City of Buenos Aires (GCBA). The experience of countries like Uruguay shows, for example, from the establishment of places 100 percent smoke-free are not intended to ban smoking but smoking in spaces open where other people do not have to be affected, greatly decreased level of people admitted to coronary care units. The figures speak of 20 percent less in the adult population and 50 percent less in the young, one of the most affected by this harmful habit.
The importance of establishing environments 100 percent smoke-free is that there is no level sure snuff smoke exposure, and neither is available a ventilation system that eliminates toxins from the cigarette, which remain in a room for 14 days but open windows and ventilation. In the snuff smoke more than 4000 chemicals, many of them toxic and more than 50 carcinogens.
