Smoking ban highlights shown by European Union
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss
A European study has released a report on the positive health effects that have been a result of smoking bans in that region. This should come as no surprise, since cigarettes are some of the most noxious, toxic products ever to be manufactured.
More than 100,000 smokers and non-smokers took tests to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in their bodies. Since secondhand smoke can be just as deadly to non-smokers as smoking itself, it was good to see both groups included in this study.
Results of the study: carbon monoxide levels in studied smokers were four times higher than in non-smokers and were also double the amount tolerated for air pollution guidelines in most European countries. It's amazing something so small could create such health havoc, but there you are.
