The EPA says so, but I'd like to know: on what grounds?
'''Passive [[smoking]]''', or second-hand smoking, is the inhaling of [[tobacco]] fumes exhaled by other smokers. It has been shown to cause lung cancer{{fact}} and is the reason for the smoking ban in many public areas.

The [[EPA]] calls environmental tobacco smoke a [[Group A carcinogen]], asserting that it is "responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths annually in U.S. nonsmokers." [http://www.epa.gov/smokefree/pubs/etsfs.html#Major%20Conclusions]
