酒店的禁煙房間并不等于無煙，2013年5月15日
Just because you choose the non-smoking hotel room doesn't mean you're completely protecting yourself from exposure.
僅僅選擇酒店的禁煙房間并不等于你已經(jīng)完全不受煙的毒害了。
A new study published in the journal,Tobacco Control, found hotels that only maintain a partial smoking ban still expose their occupants to cigarette smoke,
一項(xiàng)新的發(fā)表在《華爾街日報(bào)》上的名為“煙草控制”的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，只是部分禁煙的酒店仍然使其入住者暴露在香煙煙霧中。
and that compared to hotels with full smoking bans, nicotine levels on hotel room surfaces are two times higher.
部分禁煙酒店房間的尼古丁含量是完全禁煙酒店的兩倍。
The researchers studied the air quality and nicotine residue on the surfaces of smoking and non-smoking rooms in 30 hotels with partial smoking bans and 10 hotels with total smoking bans in California.
研究人員研究了加州30家部分禁煙酒店的可吸煙房間和禁煙房間以及10家完全禁煙房間的空氣質(zhì)量和尼古丁含量。
They also took urine and finger swipe samples from non-smoking participants who spent the night in the hotels to assess their exposure to nicotine.
他們還采集了不吸煙的人在酒店住一夜之后的尿液和手指滑動樣本，用于測試尼古丁對他們的影響。
Not surprisingly, levels of nicotine in the air were much higher in smoking than in non-smoking rooms, but levels in non-smoking rooms in hotels with partial bans were still 40% higher than in hotels with complete bans.
顯然，吸煙房間的尼古丁含量要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于禁煙房間的尼古丁含量，但部分禁煙酒店的禁煙房間的尼古丁含量仍比完全禁煙酒店房間的尼古丁含量高出40%。
The non-smokers who stayed in hotels with partial bans also had higher levels of nicotine and tobacco by products such as cotinine in their urine and finger residue samples.
住在部分禁煙酒店的不吸煙的人，從他們的尿液和手指滑動樣本中檢測出較高的尼古丁含量和一些跟煙草有關(guān)的東西。
Second hand smoke can pose serious risks to health, according to recent studies.
根據(jù)最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，二手煙也會帶來嚴(yán)重的健康風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
Non-smokers who are exposed to cigarette smoke at work or at home can increase their heart disease risk by 25%-30%.
不吸煙的人，因其在工作場所或家里暴露在吸煙的環(huán)境中，他們患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)會增加25%~30%。
And data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) linked secondhand smoke to 46 000 heart disease deaths in the U. S. each year.
美國疾控中心的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，美國每年有46000人因吸二手煙而死于心臟病，
It is also associated with a higher risk of lung disease,
二手煙也使肺病的發(fā)病率增加。
and babies born to mothers exposed to second hand smoke are more likely to be of low birth weight and suffer from respiratory distress, while teens may be more vulnerable to hearing loss.Thank you.
孕婦吸二手煙可能導(dǎo)致新生兒的體重偏低，患呼吸窘迫癥。青少年吸二手煙可能更容易損害其聽力。謝謝。
