Passive/second hand smoking!
被动吸烟（吸二手烟）
Only 15% of smoke from a cigarette is inhaled by the smoker.
The other 85% goes directly into the air and is known as second hand smoke.
Second hand smoke is a combination of: mainstream smoke, which is the smoke
inhaled and then breathed out and sidestream smoke, which is the smoke coming
from the cigarette between puffs.
Sidestream smoke has more tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other chemicals
that cause cancer than the smoke inhaled through the cigarette itself! All
second-hand smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals! Passive smoking is the
breathing in of the second-hand smoke produced by other people's cigarettes.
In the short-term, exposure to passive smoke leads to immediate problems such
as irritation of the nose, eyes or throat, coughs, nausea, dizziness and
headaches. Every year in the U.K 17,000 children under five years of age are
admitted to hospitals because of illnesses related to passive smoking. The risk
of cot death is greatly increased in children who have been exposed to smoke
either during pregnancy, or at home if one or both parents smoke.
In the long term, consequences are much more serious ---
passive smoking contributes to the development of lung cancer, heart disease and
stroke. And, as they grow older children are almost 3 times more likely to start
smoking if their parents do.
Everyone at times is a passive smoker, and passive smoking is not just an
annoyance, it's a health risk! So the next time one of your friends lights up in
front of you, fire off these facts: Secondhand smoke can produce six times the
pollution of a busy motorway when in a crowded room, kills about 3,000
nonsmokers each year from lung cancer, causes wheezing, coughing, colds,
earaches and asthma attacks, fills the air with many of the same poisons found
in the air around toxic waste dumps, and makes clothes and hair stink.
本选段中的Chandler是个烟鬼，正如他的扮演者Matthew
Perry一样。美国的烟民比例和中国不相上下，但是吸烟，尤其是二手烟，对人体健康有很大的危害。在美国，吸烟不再是个人的行为，而是社会公德的问题。美国在很多公共场所都有严格的禁止吸烟的规定，而且被认为是基本文明的组成部分。近期包括福特汽车公司在内的一系列大型企业都规定禁止在办公室吸烟。
