If you like to stink, to have yellow teeth and short breath - this is your problem. But some of us don't want "extras" like this. So, no matter if you believe this "crap" or not - please, no one have to breathe your smoke!

This whole idea that secondhand smoking is bad comes from propaganda ideas by the Nazi's in 1939. Nowadays the government makes smokers think they harm other people so that they would stop smoking. There is no real evidence that secondhand smoke is bad for your health. One investigation done by the WHO in 1998 proves that there is no significant damage caused by second hand smoke and it proves that children growing up in an environment where people smoke makes them 22% STRONGER!!

Actually the only thing that can be traced back to smoking is a blockage. The rest are made up theories by people that don't now how to explain certain conditions. Same as stress. Got to your doctor and say you're sick, he tells you it's stress because really he has no clue.

What a load of rubbish. How can any sane person fall for this crap. The oldest generation the world has ever seen is the current elderly one. We have more people over the age of 80 than ever before. They are also the same group of people that smoked the most and have been exposed to the most amount of "second hand smoke" over their lifetime. It really makes me sick when people swallow the lies that those pharmo funded charities throw out.

Nurse Dan connects all kinds of cancers to passive smoking.

Do you have *any* proof at all? Or are you just guessing?

The only study that the anti smoking pressure groups point to (who are funded by the big pharmaceutical company who creates stop smoking drugs and nicotine replacements: see google) is bogus. The title says it found passive smoking is bad, but the actual report says they found no adverse effects at all.

Blaming passive smoking for cancer stops us looking for the real causes.
