Second hand smoke-what we do not have to deal with

Hello all,
Katie Untersberger here. Second hand smoke, some may think its second hand I'm not actually smoking a cigarette I should be fine. Think again! Second hand smoke is just as bad as first hand and your not even doing the smoking. We non smokers don't know what to do when we get caught up in a group of smokers when travelling around campus. When we are surrounded by a group of our friends and smoke is being blown around in the air we breath in other deadly toxins which are responsible for several cancers and diseases. Studies have shown their are two types of second hand smoke stated in an article provided above talking about all the health effects of second hand smoke. if we students between the age of 18-30+ getting an education for a better career to become successful in our goals, do we all plan on suffering from any one of the life threatening cancers cigarette smoke causes in our life time? I sure do not wish upon myself or anyone to experience the fear and stress of second hand smoke. We need to start implementing more smoke free programs and  discussing the negative effects for everyone. Post secondary schools need to be a strong leader in providing information and support to students who are starting smoking when the enter college, and students who have been struggling to quit. Provide your insight to how you think colleges should provide help and prevention of smoking on campus.
