Abstract
This paper touches on the physical dangers of inhaling second-hand smoke and the negative effects of second-hand smoke on children and pets. It also argues for a ban on smoking in public places and describes some of the cities and states that have already instrumented such a ban in the United States.
From the Paper
"Second-hand smoke is a public health hazard. Not only does it have the supernatural ability to cling to clothing and hair, leaving behind a lingering, musty, and stale smell, but it can also create very serious health problems. For those who choose to partake in the precarious activity of puffing on a cancer stick, the associated side effects are expected. Smokers are voluntarily and knowingly exposing themselves to the possibilities of asthma, lung cancer, heart disease, and other related diseases, and are not all that surprised when they become ill from their bad habit. For those who choose not to inhale poisonous chemicals into their lungs, however, the side effects are just unfair. Many non-smokers have chosen not to smoke to preserve their health and prolong their lives, and they should not have to expose themselves to second-hand smoke when they are out in public. Non-smokers should be able to feel free to socialize in any restaurant or bar without having to be subjected to the harmful effects of second-hand smoke. With so many grim statistics out there about second-hand smoke, why are we still allowing people to smoke in public places, literally killing those who choose not to smoke?"

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of second-hand smoke exposure and how it violates the rights of non-smokers. Through this examination, the paper shows some of the potential health hazards to non-smokers, and discusses what anti-smoking groups are doing to safeguard the rights of non-smokers.
From the Paper
"A billboard sponsored by the California Department of Health Services shows a man with a cigarette in his mouth asking a woman, ?Mind if I smoke?? She responds, ?Care if I die?? (CDHS 5/97). Although the ad seems to be amusing, its message is very serious. As the Department points out, second-hand smoke is not only a health hazard to smokers, it poses health problems to those who share the same environment with those who smoke. This assumption has been proven in countless studies. In recent weeks, the media has presented the findings of researchers from Harvard, UC San Francisco, and the Center for Disease Control that conclusively determine that cigarette smoking poses health threats for non-smokers that are almost as great as for those who smoke. Anti-smoking groups theorize that non-smokers experience an increase in heart disease, respiratory problems, and high blood pressure because of their exposure to secondhand smoke. The argument that presents itself is that smoking is not just a bad habit that is a health hazard to smokers; secondhand tobacco smoke impacts the lives of non-smokers, too."

Abstract
This paper provides a critical review of three recent clinical studies on the impact of second-hand smoke. The article reviews include original graphs. This paper shows that the impact of parental smoking, even if done outdoors, can have an adverse effect on others, particularly children in the family. An annotated 'works cited' page is included.
From the Paper
"In this study, Nelson reports on research that showed exposure to second-hand or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) can harm young children. She also discusses the use of cotinine to quantify ETS exposure in children, the manner in which indoor and outdoor smoking resulted in the same levels of cotinine; and the risks of children becoming smokers due to parental role models. According to this researcher, previous studies have shown that exposure to second-hand or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) can be detrimental to a young child's health; however, even if a parent smokes outside the home, children could still face a high level of ETS exposure."

Chapter One
Statement of the Problem
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the study is to examine the ways in which business organizations have responded to concerns regarding the ill-effects of second-hand smoke in the workplace. Specifically, the purpose of the study is to determine how business managers perceive the problem of second-hand smoke and how they and their organizations have responded to this health concern. It has been theorized that employees who breathe in their co-workers' cigarette smoke are significantly more at risk for the development of negative health conditions and significantly more likely to take sick leave than workers who are not exposed to workplace tobacco smoke (Second-hand smoke..., 2000)."

From the Paper
"For years, many epidemiologists have thought that second-hand tobacco smoke causes lung cancer and other respiratory diseases in nonsmokers, but they have been hesitant to label environmental tobacco smoke a clear-cut carcinogen. The reason for this is that almost everyone is exposed to cigarette smoke from time to time, making it hard for epidemiologists to track any effects of secondary smoke from those of a host of other potential hazards. Recently, however, an outside panel of scientists convened by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved crucial elements of a draft review concluding that passive smoking does indeed cause lung cancer. Several months later, environmental smoke was labeled a carcinogen.
Indeed, the risks of second-hand smoke to nonsmokers has become a major issue today, both medically and legally."

"SECOND HAND SMOKE EFFECTS ON CHILDREN
Abstract
This research paper examined the effects of second hand smoke on children with a discussion of children exposed to second hand smoke, harmful effects, links to disease states, and conclusions. The literature reported that environmental tobacco smoke is a risk factor in children's health and 42 percent of children under the age of 5 live in a household with parents who smoke. Study findings show that effects of this smoke are harmful and children suffer from problems resulting such as increased rates of lower respiratory illness and symptoms, ear infections, asthma, sudden infant death syndrome, and adult cancer."

Abstract
This paper examines how second-hand smoke affects the health of other people and then discusses a new law in Germany that bans smoking in restaurants, schools, and other public buildings. The writer explains that these bans are based on the evidence showing that second-hand smoke can cause cancer and other health problems just as direct smoking can. The writer further discusses the long-term health risks for children exposed to second-hand smoke, leading to serious health consequences later in life. The writer concludes that we need to make smokers more aware of the dangers of second-hand smoke.
From the Paper
"A recent article in the New York Times addresses a new law in Germany that mirrors law being passed across the United States. Probably the most widely argued community health issue of the last three decades or so has been smoking, extending beyond the question of what happens to the body when someone smokes or how much smoking damages the health of the smoker and instead showing how the whole community may suffer for what a smoker does. Landler (2006) refers to an ongoing campaign in Europe against smoking in public places, a campaign mirrored in several American cities."

From the Paper
"From the perspective of business managers, ETS has become an issue of growing significance. A number of corporations in the United States have established policies that either limit or totally prohibit smoking in the workplace. They have done so in response to regulations issued by the EPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), demands expressed by employees for a smoke-free environment, the escalating cost of health insurance and health care due to cigarette induced diseases, and other concerns regarding the potential property losses from fires, work productivity decline, and increased expense in ventilation facilities and maintenance."

Abstract
This paper discusses the claim that smoking should not be allowed in public places. The problem of second-hand smoking as a result of smoking in public, is raised. The hazards of second-hand smoke are presented in the paper. The issue is addressed from a legislative point of view as well as from the business/company perspective. The paper provides a number of reasons why a company should endeavor to prevent smoking within its boundaries. The media's influence on public awareness of smoking and passive smoking hazards is examined.
From the Paper
"Smoking should not be allowed in public places. This is based primarily on the fact that second-hand smoke is a health hazard, but it can also be argued that allowing people to smoke in public only perpetuates the habit and encourages others to take it up, thus adding to the health hazard in the long run. The private sector is already addressing the issue on a case-by-case basis, banning smoking in the workplace in many companies. Those who believe there is a problem may create a smoke-free area for customers or workers, or workers can demand that their place of business be entirely smoke free. Still, the government should take further action to protect the public where companies do not, including in shopping areas, workplaces, theaters, restaurants, and anywhere the public gathers. Allowing smoking on the street in fact encourages smoking, and discouraging smoking should be a primary effort for the public and private sectors to reduce the health costs paid by both."
