文化面面觀
Passive/second hand smoking!
被動吸煙（吸二手煙）
Only 15% of smoke from a cigarette is inhaled by the smoker.
The other 85% goes directly into the air and is known as second hand smoke.
Second hand smoke is a combination of: mainstream smoke, which is the smoke
inhaled and then breathed out and sidestream smoke, which is the smoke coming
from the cigarette between puffs.
Sidestream smoke has more tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other chemicals
that cause cancer than the smoke inhaled through the cigarette itself! All
second-hand smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals! Passive smoking is the
breathing in of the second-hand smoke produced by other people's cigarettes.
In the short-term, exposure to passive smoke leads to immediate problems such
as irritation of the nose, eyes or throat, coughs, nausea, dizziness and
headaches. Every year in the U.K 17,000 children under five years of age are
admitted to hospitals because of illnesses related to passive smoking. The risk
of cot death is greatly increased in children who have been exposed to smoke
either during pregnancy, or at home if one or both parents smoke.
In the long term, consequences are much more serious ---
passive smoking contributes to the development of lung cancer, heart disease and
stroke. And, as they grow older children are almost 3 times more likely to start
smoking if their parents do.
Everyone at times is a passive smoker, and passive smoking is not just an
annoyance, it's a health risk! So the next time one of your friends lights up in
front of you, fire off these facts: Secondhand smoke can produce six times the
pollution of a busy motorway when in a crowded room, kills about 3,000
nonsmokers each year from lung cancer, causes wheezing, coughing, colds,
earaches and asthma attacks, fills the air with many of the same poisons found
in the air around toxic waste dumps, and makes clothes and hair stink.
本選段中的Chandler是個煙鬼，正如他的扮演者Matthew
Perry一樣。美國的煙民比例和中國不相上下，但是吸煙，尤其是二手煙，對人體健康有很大的危害。在美國，吸煙不再是個人的行為，而是社會公德的問題。美國在很多公共場所都有嚴格的禁止吸煙的規(guī)定，而且被認為是基本文明的組成部分。近期包括福特汽車公司在內(nèi)的一系列大型企業(yè)都規(guī)定禁止在辦公室吸煙。
