Doctors have released new shocking information about the dangers of passive Smoking

The data is based on 20−year observation of patients

Passive Smoking could be twice as more dangerous to health than previously thought. To such conclusion came the British doctors in the result of the recently completed study, based on the results of a 20−year observation of patients.

Non-smokers who have to live and work near smokers, really have a lot harder than previously thought.

Compared to those who do not have to breathe tobacco smoke, they are 50 or 60% more likely to suffer from heart disease, say British scientists from the medical school of St. George’s in Tooting, South London.

Previously it was thought that passive smokers the risk of heart disease by only 25 or 30% higher, wrote Wednesday in the British newspaper The Independent. After a new study was published in the online version of the British Medical Journal, members of the British Medical Association appealed to the government to follow the example of Ireland, where he was introduced to a fine of 3 thousand euros for Smoking in public places, including pubs and restaurants.

English doctors in the course of research conducted a survey 4729 men in 18 British towns.

Was taken blood levels of cotinine — a byproduct of nicotine that are formed as active and passive smokers. The study was based on the results of 20−year observations of non-Smoking patients, and over time the level of cotinine in their blood changed.

This is due to the fact that over the years the number of smokers in the UK decreased, therefore, of passive Smoking also become less.

In General, it was found that the increased content of cotinine by 50 percent or more increases the risk of heart disease.

“Our research clearly proves that passive Smoking excessively malicious, and it is necessary to limit,” — said the head of group of scientists Professor Peter Vinkap
