Passive smoking may kill 30 people a day in the UK
Each week in the United Kingdom, passive smoking may cause the death of at least one employee in the hospitality industry and more than 200 people who are exposed to tobacco smoke at home. Jamrozik's estimates of the number of deaths that may be due to passive smoking (p 812) are based on national databases. Although sensitivity analyses showed that these may be overestimates by two thirds, they also showed that if smoking in public places was banned and the general prevalence of smoking fell to under 25% of middle aged adults, all deaths attributable to passive smoking at work would eventually disappear.
