The first global study into the effects of passive smoking has found it causes 600,000 deaths every year.

One-third of those killed are children, often exposed to smoke at home, the World Health Organisation (WHO) found.

The study, in 192 countries, found that passive smoking is particularly dangerous for children, said to be at higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome, pneumonia and asthma.

Passive smoking causes heart disease, respiratory illness and lung cancer.

"This helps us understand the real toll of tobacco," said Armando Peruga, of the WHO's Tobacco-Free Initiative, who led the study.

Cigs are wtf-worthy. Such little buzz is gotten out of it, yet there's such a high cost to your health for using them.

Hookah's more enjoyable but more harmful as its a direct smoke going into your lungs.

Pot ... mmmmmm.
