second hand smoke has ever killed anyone. There is no direct evidence of that. And don't bother with the studie, I can provide other studies proving them wrong. When you have competing 'studies' you have to depend on your own knowledge, limitied though it might be. I know people who have been killed by alcohol, quite a few actually, but of all the people I have known who have been exposed to second smoke, not one is dead or even sick from it.

As for none of those things hurting people, you are protecting your own interests. Porn hurts women. Alcohol kills people. Car emissions are helping to destroy the planet. And video games have been found to have played a role in murder. So, if it's because you're worried about hurting people, you would be as outraged by the porn industry (ever talk to a woman who was victimized by it?} or the alcohol industry as you are by smoking.

In a way, you prove my point about the hypocrisy of those who single out one thing that bothers them, and ignore all the other ways that people are hurt. Eg, do you know how many people the Automobile industry kills each year?

Which is why I said, 'let's ban everything'. We'd have a safer, but not a very free world.
