passive smoking may cause lung cancer
Research group of Ministry of Health, Labour and welfare has proved that the wife, whose husband smokes in home, has high risk of being lung cancer than the wife has non-smoking husband from the large-scale investigation. There is possibility for about 40% of non-smoking female patients, that they would not have got lung cancer if their husband had not smoked. The risk will be 1.5 times higher if their husbands had smoked in the past and twice higher if their husbands are heavy smoker. The influence of passive smoking is very strong and harmful.

I think so too. The smoke of passive smoking includes many harmful substances that are not included in usual smoking. Also, passive smoking is not limited to husbands and wives. I think smokers should think about other people around them. I think it is natural that smokers got lung cancer, but it is absurd to people around smokers got lung cancer because of passive smoking.
I agree with Kuro's idea. smokers should think about people aroud them. Recently I often see smorkers which is smorking in no smorking areas. They should protect minimum rules.
