Passive smoking , such as smoking regular
New medical study said that a third of people who breathe the air in the presence of large amounts of cigarette smoke, or what is known as passive smoking face damage in the lung is quite similar to those experienced by smokers in person.
The study, prepared by a team of Hospital of Philadelphia, the American 60 people between the ages of 41 and 79, including 45 non-smokers, were considered non-smokers at risk of exposure to secondhand smoke if they live with a smoker for 10 years at least and often in childhood.
The team of researchers found that 57% of smokers and 33% of non-smokers who are heavily exposed to secondhand smoke had signs of early lung damage as measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
And hired doctors who oversaw the research a particular type of magnetic resonance imaging to examine the lungs of non-smokers who are exposed to cigarette smoke others were present in the same places, and found evidence of the occurrence of types of damage that causes a disease emphysema.
The research team considered that these changes are early signs of lung damage, representing mild forms of emphysema, indicating that almost one third of nonsmokers who were exposed to cigarette smoke indirectly for a long time out injured.
Said the research team presented the results of the study for the meeting of the North American Society for Radiation Medicine in Chicago, that 35% of American children live in homes where someone smokes regularly.
In February 2007, U.S. researchers announced that up to 20% of women who develop lung cancer have never smoked at all.
