Smoking at workplace increases cancer risk

Source: Huliq.com

Researchers have found out that non-smoking workers at indoor workplaces like restaurants are at a higher risk of developing cancer. Research has shown that the level of the Tobacco carcinogen NNK was found in the blood stream of non-smoking workers compared to those who worked in smoking-free environments.

They have also found out that apart from NNK, workers were exposed to atleast 50 more carcinogens leading to lung cancer, heart diseases, etc...

Hence the researchers are insisting that smoking be banned at indoor work places where the risk is very high giving respect to the non-smokers.
