What health benefit is associated with restricting indoor smoking?

  1. Improved taste sensitivity

  2. Lower risks of lung cancer and heart disease

  3. Enhanced skin hydration

  4. Increased atmospheric oxygen levels

The correct answer is: Lower risks of lung cancer and heart disease

Restricting indoor smoking has been proven to have multiple health benefits, one of which being lowered risks of developing lung cancer and heart disease. This is because secondhand smoke contains thousands of toxic chemicals, which can enter the body and increase the risk of these deadly diseases. Options A and C are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the act of indoor smoking. Option D is incorrect because although it may lead to increased atmospheric oxygen levels, it does not provide any direct health benefits to individuals. Thus, option B is the most accurate answer.
