There are a lot of smokers who have COPD. While this is among the chief risk factors for this dreaded disease, a lot of people don’t realize the gravity of being in a smoker’s presence while they light up. When you hang out with someone practicing such a dangerous habit, you endure the same health risks that they experience.

For a lot of smokers, people who hang out with them may not even realize the danger they’re being placed in by these self-destructive individuals. While the smokers themselves may not care about their own lives, they will thoughtlessly and carelessly endanger everyone else around them just for the joy of their personal habits. Needless to say, the non-smokers who hang around with the smokers need to find ways to protect themselves. While no one suggests wearing a gas mask when you’re aroudn all of your smoker friends, you might just want to limit your contact with them.

If you don’t smoke and you want to protect your health from the most obvious of all dangers, you need to abandon the entire smoking lifestyle. You can’t be near it and not be harmed by it, so you might as well let it go and find yourself some friends who don’t smoke in the first place. If you want to develop COPD or would prefer to die from it, go ahead and deal with smokers as much as you like. Unfortunately, this is the inevitable fate of anyone who hangs out in the presence of these people.
