Read the excerpt about secondhand smoke from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website.Eliminating smoking in indoor spaces fully protects nonsmokers from exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS). Half of the US population is covered by state or local smokefree laws that do not allow indoor smoking in worksites and public places, including restaurants and bars.
