It links cigar smoke exposure to serious outcomes including lung cancer and heart disease, and explains nicotine absorption even when the smoker does not inhale. The document also criticizes efforts to weaken smokefree protections for cigar bars and lounges, warning against exemptions that raise risks for workers. It argues there is no proven economic benefit and calls readers to organize a coalition.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/cigar-smoke-dont-believe-the-hype-secondhand-cigar-smoke-is-hazardous-protecting-smoked-free-laws/401622/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/cigar-smoke-dont-believe-the-hype-secondhand-cigar-smoke-is-hazardous-protecting-smoked-free-laws/401622.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"pop out","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-27",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Why is secondhand cigar smoke considered hazardous?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Secondhand cigar smoke contains toxic chemicals like those found in secondhand cigarette smoke.

Smoke-filled environments have been proven to have a negative economic impact. Absenteeism, lost productivity, increased maintenance, and insurance costs will negatively affect the bottom line for businesses and governments. A smoke-filled cigar bar will not improve tourism. As noted by J. D. Power and Associates, 87% of guests prefer asmokefree hospitality environment.  \nPREPARE YOUR COALITION  \nHEARING RUMBLINGS OF A CIGAR BAR/LOUNGE ROLLBACK?  \nGive us a call.
