The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has just issued what it describes at
"the most comprehensive report on the health risks of secondhand smoke ever
conducted." The report concludes that:
* ETS kills between 40,000 and 68,000 Americans each year
* ETS causes lung cancer, sinus cancer, and heart disease death
* ETS may cause cervical cancer, spontaneous abortions, cystic fibrosis,
and other conditions
* Even outdoor exposure can present a serious problem
