Question

Passive smokers inhale only 10% of the smoke.

(a) False

(b) True

I have been asked this question in quiz.

The query is from Human Health and Disease in section Human Health and Disease of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) False

To explain I would say: Active smoker is the person engaged in smoking. A non-smoker who inhales involuntarily the air polluted by smoke from an active smoker is called as a passive smoker. An active smoker only inhales 10% of the smoke. The rest is inhaled by passive smokers involuntarily.
