I have not looked into where or who did the study but figured this being Massachusetts somebody else can do the work for me  |
overboard on an anti-smoking craze? This isn't the 1700's, modern medicine and technology will tell you the stuff you inhale from cigarettes can and will cause you harm. It ends up costing all of us in society, even non smokers, since healthcare costs are higher because of stuff like emphazema, kind of like the way shoplifting rises costs of goods.
Secondhand smoke is nasty, some people are so sensitive to smoke, that they get instant headaches, wheeze and get sick. I have asthma and I can't tolerate smoke form others smoking anymore even outside I have to be upwind of someone or I'll move. It really sucks.
There is enough air pollution in our world already, no need to inhale anymore of it and add to it.
make sure you buy your smokes in a town that the majority of voters didn't vote to re-elect Barney
