If that is true, and it sounds like bull**** to me, what is the effect
of the carbon monoxide from lawn mowers, smoke from BBQ grills and the
pollution from wood burning stoves? Should we ban all of them too?


It's not good to inhale carbon monoxide, or breathe in smoke from any


Wouldn't you agree we should use caution and good sense when it comes to
exposing ourselves to such things?


Yes and like Gfre, I say that a whiff of smoke from a smoker who's
ten feet away, isn't going to kill me.

Since WHEN is their ONLY one whiff of secondhand smoke??



When you're walking into a building is a good example. How did that
become an issue?

It stinks, makes me physically ill, causes me breathing problems for
hours after I have one whiff, and I can't hold my breath long enough to
pass a smoker to ONLY get just one whiff. More than one whiff makes me
even sicker.

Well the anti-smoking zealots first banned smoking
inside buildings. So, smokers go outside and stand near the entrance.
So, next the zealots claim that just walking by there, catching a brief
whiff is intolerable. So, they passed another law making smokers stand
25 or 50 ft away. Then, that wasn't good enough, so in some cases, they
passed laws preventing you from smoking anywhere on a property. That's
what the lib zealots do.

I'm not a liberal - I'm a conservative, and it's a good idea to limit
secondhand smoke.
