二手煙的危害
大多數(shù)人都知道吸煙有害健康?？茖W(xué)研究表明，吸煙能夠誘發(fā)多種疾病。事實(shí)上，許多吸煙的人得了肺癌。
然而愛德華吉爾松從不抽煙卻得了肺癌。他和他的妻子伊芙琳生活在一起，婚后他的妻子每天要抽一包煙。吉爾松夫婦已經(jīng)結(jié)婚三十五年了。沒有人確切地知道為什么吉爾松會(huì)得肺癌。
然而，醫(yī)生相信二手煙可能會(huì)使不抽煙的人患上肺癌，因?yàn)椴怀闊煹娜私?jīng)常吸入別人吸煙時(shí)產(chǎn)生的煙。這種煙叫做二手煙。愛德華吉爾松吸這種煙吸了三十五年?，F(xiàn)在他即將死于肺癌。
然而，他的情況可不是唯一的。美國環(huán)境保護(hù)署報(bào)道，每年在美國大約有五萬三千人因吸入二手煙死亡。我們把這種情況叫做被動(dòng)吸煙。
