Not dangerous?? How do you know 10 times that amount isn't in a puff of
secondhand smoke?


Still the "one instance" fallacy? As if "one puff" is all there is.

The preeminent safety organization in the government sets daily limits
for toxins and the concentrations in second hand smoke does not even
bump the needle. I gave the example of Chlorine, one of the deadliest
war gasses ever unleashed on mankind yet getting a little whiff when
you pour bleach into your washer is harmless and they put it in your
drinking water. Typical municipal water runs about 3ppm chlorine and
that is far higher than any of the toxins in cigarette smoke. How many
thousands of gallons of water do you use in a year?
