Question

Saul and Imelda are getting counseling before their marriage. Their counselor points out that Saul is a smoker and Imelda is not. The counselor asks if Imelda is concerned about her risk of lung cancer from secondhand smoke. What risk does she face?

Answer 1

Answer:

an increased risk of lung cancer by 20-30 percent

Explanation:

                Second hand smoke is also known as passive smoking. It is the inhaling of the smoke from a cigar or a cigarette smoked by the other person. According to reports, second hand smoke contains more then 69 cancer causing chemicals in it and passive smoker peoples are more likely to get lung cancer or other heart diseases. There is an increased risk of getting lung cancer  by 20 - 30 percent when people breathe in regularly the second hand smoke.

              In the context, Imelda has an increased risk of getting a lung cancer because she will be exposed to the second hand smoke of Saul to whom she is going to marry.

Therefore the answer is  ---

an increased risk of lung cancer by 20-30 percent
