BLOOMINGTON -- There is no risk-free exposure to second-hand smoke, according to a recently released U.S. surgeon general's report.

"No heating/ventilation system can effectively remove toxins," McLean County Health Department Director Bob Keller told members of the County Board's Finance Committee on Tuesday in his review of the report. "The only way to prevent (the effects) is non-exposure."

Keller said the surgeon general's report showed an "overwhelming preponderance of evidence" that second-hand smoke increases a nonsmoker's risks of getting lung cancer or heart disease by about 30 percent.
