This study <\/a>surprised me a bit, only because I bet it’s been two or three years since I’ve last had to breath someone else’s cigarette smoke.<\/p>\n

The Centers for Disease Research released a report this week that one in four nonsmokers continues to be exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke.<\/p>\n

Good news, bad news: While that number is about half the percentage is 1999, 7 out of 10 African-American children are “regularly exposed” to \u00a0smokers’ secondhand smoke. And two out of five<\/a> children under the age of 11 continue to be exposed to adults’ cigarette smoke.<\/p>\n

From the NBC News articles (NBC is great for stories on tobacco control, BTW):<\/p>\n

“Although we’ve made significant progress in reducing smoking rates … some populations are subjected to the deadly impact of tobacco more than others,” said Chris Hansen, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. “… Secondhand smoke disproportionately affects African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans, who are more likely to work in jobs that have the least amount of protection from smoking \u2014 such as service, hospitality and manufacturing industries.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
