What is passive smoking?

Newborns Australia Parental Smoking Project
The unborn child is passive smoking when the mother is a smoker or is exposed to smoke. This is because the baby receives tobacco by-products though the mother's bloodstream. These by-products include nicotine and carbon monoxide. Nicotine increases the baby's heart rate and the carbon monoxide takes the place of the oxygen in the blood, leaving less oxygen for the baby.

Information, Advice, and Helplines about Smoking :: Trouble
Passive smoking happens when you're not smoking yourself but you're with people who are. Some of the smoke goes into their lungs and the rest goes into the air. Then you breathe in the air with smoke in it. Research shows that breathing in this smoky air can affect non-smokers (and smokers). You may cough, get sore, watery eyes and perhaps a headache or sinus problems and your throat may hurt.

If you are against smoking bans, how do you intend to protect non smokers against passive smoke?

FORCES International - Frequently Asked Questions
The use of the word "protect" when it comes to passive smoke is unacceptable, since it implies the existence of a danger - a danger that, in reality, does not exist because passive smoke, when present, is in practical terms insufficiently present to cause the slightest damage. In short, the "dangers" of passive smoking are a fraud.

Can cannabis make you sterile?

Cannabis - Frequently Asked Questions - The Good Drugs Guide
Yes and no. This has been a persistent myth for over 40 years but it actually does have some basis in medicine. Basically the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, THC reduces lutenising hormone (LH) in the genitals. LH triggers ovulation in women and is involved in sperm production in men. Result: a short-term (four to five hour) decrease in reproductive ability. Long term cannabis users, however, build tolerance to this effect and are immune. (1)

Is it possible to test positive for THC (Marijuana / Cannabis) from exposure to second hand smoke?

Frequently Asked Questions Drug Test FAQ
It is not! Urine concentrations of THC above the cut-off sensitivity level of the test, or a positive result, is possible only through use / inhalation. However, second hand smoke will be in the system, but not at the concentrations that would indicate drug abuse. No - the results are not affected by these substances. Urine drug tests are substance and derivative metabolite specific.

What about reports that cannabis smoking leads to lung cancer?

Home Office | Tackling Drugs Changing Lives |

Smoked cannabis has a higher concentration of certain carcinogens than smoked tobacco, and it tends to be inhaled more deeply. However, in general cannabis smokers smoke fewer cigarettes per day than tobacco smokers and most give up in their 30s. A Department of Health working group is examining the health consequences of cannabis smoking.
