38、angerous for nonsmokers as smoking is for smokers, but now theres fresh evidence quantifying just how hazardous the after-burn from cigarettes can be, and how quickly it affects your body. Scientists at the Oregon Department of Health documented for the first time an hourly buildup of a cancer- caus
39、ing compound from cigarette smoke in the blood of nonsmokers working in bars and restaurants in the state.Reporting in the American Journal of Public Health, the researchers found that waitstaff and bartenders working a typical night shift gradually accumulated higher levels of NNK, a carcinogen in
40、cigarette smoke, at the rate of 6% each hour they worked. NNK is known to be involved in inducing lung cancer in both lab rats and smokers.“We were somewhat surprised by the immediacy of the effect and the fact that we could measure the average hourly increase,“ says Michael Stark, the lead author o
41、f the study and a principal investigator at the Mulmomah County Health Department in Oregon.The authors are confident that the increases in NNK in the workers they tested most likely came from their exposure to smokethe study included a control group of similar subjects in restaurants where no smoki

Thirteen states now prohibit smoking in restaurants alt

45、ute the scientific evidence; in a study done in Scotland several months after that nation instituted a ban on smoking in public places, researchers found that following the ban, bar patrons showed stronger lung capacity and reduced levels of inflammation (a red flag for a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease and asthma). “We made it pretty clear that the science on this is pretty irrefutable,“ says McKenna. And if smokers have fewer places to smoke, that message may finally get heard.（分数：10.0
