write methods and result of environmental tobacco smoke.
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) refers to exposure to tobacco smoke – not from your smoking, but from being exposed to someone else's
Breathing in ETS is known as passive smoking, second-hand smoke, or involuntary smoking.
Methods of Environmental Tobacco smoke are Mainstre Smoke and Side stream Smoke.
The smoke that is inhaled and then exhaled from the smoker's lungs is called mainstream smoke (MS).
Sidestream smoke (SS) is the smoke that enters the air directly from the burning end of a cigaretteor pipe. The burning end of a cigarette is not usually hot enough for complete combustion of the tobacco to occur. Since some chemicals are favoured by this incomplete burning, undiluted sidestream smoke contains higher concentrations of several chemicals than the mainstream smoke inhaled by the smoker.
