Why is second-hand smoke worse than actually smoking a cigarette? How can such a thing be possible? Plus, unless one quits breathing after sucking down a cigarette in a closed envirement, rebreathing the residue must be the equilivent of smoking a full pack. Why would any smoker want to rebreathe the same smoke over and over again? I've never heard a smoker claim inhaling cigarette smoke to be healthy, much less rebreathing the same dirty air.
