Secondhand smoke is the smoke that comes from the smoker's breath.If people breathe in secondhand smoke from time to time,they could get sick from it.It can cause lung cancer(肺癌) and many other diseases.
But how serious is the problem of the secondhand smoke?The World Health Organization(WHO) did a study of 194 countries.They found that secondhand smoke causes about 600,000 deaths every year.That is about 1% of the world death and it leads to a lot of trouble and pain.
Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to children because their bodies are growing.According to a study,around 165,000 children under 5 die each year because of secondhand smoke.Most of these deaths happened in Africa and Southern Asia where health care is very poor.
