As long as I had smokers in my team, I used to go outside with them with a coffee. I had the fresh air without any harm to my lungs :)

- jarin 16y agoI used to do that when I was in the Navy (I didn't smoke at the time). I was working nights in the server room on an aircraft carrier and didn't get to see the sun much. It wasn't exactly encouraged to take random breaks all the time for no reason, and you can't go up on the flight deck during flight ops, so at the end of each shift I would go out to the smoke deck with my friends to look at the water and get some sunlight.
- illumen 16y agoUnfortunately second hand smoke is just as bad as first hand smoke.
- rgbrgb 16y agoWhile as a non-smoker I totally understand the sentiment here, as a scientist, that claim seems kind of unfathomable.
- artmageddon 16y agoHow so? Numerous studies have shown that second-hand smoke is very harmful: http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/tobaccocancer/secondhand-smoke http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/tobaccocancer/seco... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_smoking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_smoking http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/secondhand-smoke/CC00023 http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/secondhand-smoke/CC00023
- sophacles 16y agoIt's not the fact of risk, it is a question of level. Specifically, the statement "just as dangerous" is just not true. Dangerous yes. Equally so? No.
- wazoox 16y agoSecond-hand smoke outdoors? I don't think so :)
- artmageddon 16y agoHow is that implausible? If you kept your distance, fine...It's also fair to say that a person won't inhale as much smoke since it isn't as contained as it would be indoors, but if you're standing downwind from it or if it wafts in your direction, there will definitely be inhalation.
