This smoke contains hundreds of carcinogenic and toxic chemicals, like benzene, formaldehyde, arsenic ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and vinyl chloride. The United States is estimated to face around 41,000 deaths per year arising from secondhand smoke majorly due to heart disease (around 33,951) followed by lung cancer (7,333).
