Many people know it is hazardous, but few comprehend that the place where they

smoking because they bid confidentiality and a sense of outflow. Though, smoking in
these bolted, damp spaces is more harmful than smoking outdoors. This study explores

headaches, and long-term diseases such as lung and heart conditions. The study also
highpoints the presence of thirdhand smoke residue and poor airing that degrade air
quality. The aim of this project is to find how smoking in closed spaces like bathrooms

how those shared closed spaces affect both parties. This study focuses on hidden
exposure, lack of awareness and that this everyday habit increases health risks. This

their attitude and choose better and safer options.
