 The text discusses the potential health risks associated with smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, particularly in relation to cancer and cardiovascular disease. It highlights the dangers of passive smoking, which can be just as harmful as active smoking, and notes that even brief exposure to secondhand smoke can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. The article also touches on the topic of third-hand smoke, which refers to the residue left behind by tobacco smoke that can linger on surfaces and fabrics, posing a risk to people who come into contact with these contaminated areas. Additionally, it mentions the importance of quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke exposure to reduce the risk of related health problems.
