The latest edition of British Medical Journal, The Lancet, says that that passive smoking kills more than 600 thousand people worldwide every year, of whom nearly a third are children. It indicates that deaths among adults were spread evenly in poor and rich nations. Based on 2004 data from 192 countries, the figures show smoking in that year killed almost six million people, either actively or passively by claiming the lives of non-smokers. Researchers maintain that second-hand smoking accounted for one percent of deaths around the world in 2004.
"Exposure to second-hand smoke is still one of the most common indoor pollutants worldwide", says Dr. Annette Pruss-Ustun, with the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. On the basis of the proportions of second-hand smoke exposure, as many as 40% of children, 35% of women and 33% of men are regularly exposed to second-hand smoke indoors, added Pruss-Ustun.
According to researchers, children are the group most heavily exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke, and about 165,000 of them die as a result. The study has also demonstrated that poverty exacerbates situations for children. Researchers have recommended applying the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. It includes measures such as tobacco tax hikes, advertising bans, and the use of nondescript packaging.
1400+ years ago, Allah s.w.t clearly bound Muslims through Holy Qur'an about the use of intoxicants in general (not just alcohol but intoxicants as a whole!) and this clearly implies that a Muslim is NOT supposed to mess with his body through intoxicants because his body is not his, but in reality it belongs to ALLAH and its HIS belonging that has been temporarily granted to all the human beings at the time of their birth and will be taken back at their death.

O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
Al-Qur'an - Surah Al-Nisaa - Chapter 5 - Verse 90
