nonsmokers as smoking is for smokers, but now there39。s fresh evidence quantifying just how hazardous the afterburn from cigarettes can be, and how quickly it affects your at the Oregon Department of Health documented for the first time an hourly buildup of a cancercausing pound from cigarette smoke in the blood of nonsmokers working in bars and restaurants in the in the American Journal of Public Health, the researchers found that waitstaff and bartenders working a typical night shift gradually accumulated higher levels of NNK, a carcinogen in cigarette smoke, at the rate of 6% each hour they is known to be involved in inducing lung cancer in both lab rats and smokers.“We were somewhat surprised by the immediacy of the effect and the fact that we could measure the average hourly increase,” says Michael Stark, the lead author of the study and a principal investigator at the Mulmomah County Health Department in authors are confident that the increases in NNK in the workers they tested most likely came from their exposure to smokethe study included a control group of similar subjects in restaurants where no smoking was allowed.“There is experimental evidence from studies where you put nonsmokers in a room, blow smoke into the room and measure their artery function, that you see the platelets get sticky, which can cause clots and lead to a heart attack, and the ability of the arteries to dilate decreases very rapidly,” says McKenna, director of the office on smoking and public health for the Centers for Disease of which could mean more time loitering outside buildings and in alleyways for smokers intent on grabbing a states now prohibit smoking in restaurants altogether（most of these include bars as well）, and while 11 states still put no restrictions on lighting up, individual cities within those statessuch as Austin in Texas, for examplehave passed legislation banning smoking in eating establishments and other public 39。s just getting harder to refute the scientific evidence。in a study done in Scotland several months after that nation instituted a ban on smoking in public places, researchers found that following the ban, bar patrons showed stronger lung capacity and reduced levels of inflammation（a red flag for a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease and asthma）.39。We made it pretty clear that the science on this is pretty
