Precautions:

When smoking, 1/3 of the harmful substances in the smoke are absorbed by themselves, and the rest float in the air with the smoke. People who live in this smoky environment will passively smoke and inhale harmful substances. Especially for women, children and frail old people, smoking may induce various diseases.

Generally speaking, public places should refer to closed places where meeting rooms, reception rooms, restaurants, theaters, cinemas, reading rooms, waiting rooms, hospitals and other people gather. Smoking in these closed public places, the harm caused by second-hand smoke is more serious.
