For a Tobacco Free Wales
"An hour a day in a room with a smoker is nearly a hundred times more likely to cause lung cancer in a non-smoker than 20 years spent in a building containing asbestos."
"Not only are tobacco farmers at risk from the pesticides used to grow their crop, they are also prone to ´green tobacco sickness´ which is caused as a result of absorbing nicotine through their skin by direct contact with wet tobacco leaves. Nausea, general weakness, dizziness, abdominal cramps, and fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rates are all common symptoms of ´green tobacco sickness´."
