ACTIVE SMOKING

The active smoker is the guy with the cigarette. The person is actively lighting up a cigarette and smoking it. The negative health aspects associated with cigarette smoke are obviously in line with this type smoking & also are more as compare to passive smoker.

PASSIVE SMOKING

Passive smoking is the inhalation of smoke, called second-hand smoke (SHS), or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), by persons other than the intended "active" smoker. It occurs when tobacco smoke permeates any environment, causing its inhalation by people within that environment.
