[ RadSafe ] Radiation Dose from Consumer Products

[Johnston, Thomas]

I am well aware of the annual dose from cigarette smoking. I was asked
these questions during a lecture and wished to possibly provide more
information to the class regarding these questions. 
Also, any dose data/information about infants/children being exposed to
ETS?

Question?

During my lecture yesterday a Ph.D. raised several questions regarding
radiation doses from Consumer Products.

1. Has it been determined the dose from chewing tobacco (and snuff, etc)
vs. smoking tobacco (and vs. Brand, menthol, nonmenthol, filter,
nonfilter)?

2. Dose from smoking tobacco vs. marijuana, opium, etc.?

3. Dose from inhaling ETS (environmental tobacco smoke, i.e. second hand
smoke)?

 

 

Thank you in advance for all replies.

Best regards,
