HI Classic I have some familiarity with how such research and studies are done. This sounds very believable to me. But, I'd also have to add that I have serious doubts about the claims from supposed "research" that second hand smoke actually is harmful to others. (I'll concede that it's offensive to subject other people to it tho. ) Before I'll believe it's harmful to non-smokers, I'd want to review the research methodology and data. Just sharing an opinion. GBU, Gavin GREETINGS EARTHLINGS! I COME IN PEACE! TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER. Klatu, baraba nicto.

Gavin - I think more than anything else, findings regarding 2nd hand smoke have to do with our present ability to measure very small things than actual danger or damage to non-smokers. I don't doubt that someone who walks a block down Main Street will have eleveated levels of carbon monoxide from vehicular traffic in their blood. Yet I see no effort to ban automobiles...perhaps in Portland, Oregon that may happen some day. I beleive karin is right on the dead horse matter. It's a little dissappoing to see science twisted to mediate what was actually a social matter. Interestingly, one of the high profile leaders of the anti-smoking and 2nd hand smoke concerns is based here in Lexington. Ellen Hahn was instrumental in our local smoking ban of a few years ago...a location which was much of a testing ground and closely watched by those in other areas. Dr. Hahn may be up against a different set of circumstances as she attempts to quash e-cigarette use. She tried to get a local VapeMeet shut down. While that made for some nusiance for the organizers, the VapeMeet has successfully held and attendees were able to vape indoors which is not disallowed by the local smoking ban. Other areas are not so fortunate in their bans. - There's a Truth out there somewhere!

Hi Classic: So many times lately I hear on the news about different places wanting to legalize marijuana. I just walked through a park where some teenagers were smoking it, and phew does it ever stink. If it does get legalized, where are people supposed to smoke it? There's hardly any place left that a person can smoke a regular cigarette these days, yet the stores here charge over $7.00 a pack and most of that is tax that goes to the government. Every house, factory, car, bus, truck, train, airplane is spewing out smoke into the air, but everyone freaks out over the smoke from a cigarette.
