Passive smoking
I do not smoke cigarettes but my friends do and sometimes when we go out they smoke around me. As I breathe the smoke and the same air as I am around them. I am scared that it might cause health problems. I am overweight. I have read that passive smoking can can heart and lung problems I am scared that this will affect my health. This doesn't happen everyday but whenever I hang out with all my friends it does happen.
