Opinion: Why Ghana needs a smoke-free law; simple facts!!!

1. Tobacco smoke contains at least 67 known human or animal carcinogens [Repace, 2006]. This is true whether tobacco smoke is inhaled in the act of smoking, or exposed to nonsmokers indoors or outdoors. Meaning: Inhaling tobacco smoke can cause cancer even when inhaled outdoor.
