Young People’s attitude toward smoking in the UK
Introduction
This study will analyze the young generation’s experience of smoking. This project was chosen due to personal interest and experience as a passive smoker.

As a result of so-called passive smoking by 34% increases the risk of lung cancer by 50% – vascular disease (Loke & Yuen 89).
Every year about 3000 non-smokers die from lung cancer caused by passive smoking. (The WHO,2014 )
