[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 741725, member: 9169"] CPL, I respectfully suggest you think about it some more. First of all, smoking and second hand smoke is not the bogeyman it is made out to be, any more than global warming. Does smoking pose a risk to your health? Yes. But I've known a lot of smokers who lived to a ripe old age, 80 years or even more, and most of them died of something not remotely related to smoking. Or does smoking cause prostate cancer, car crashes and diabetes, too??? There's simply more to it, other lifestyle choices, genetic pre-disposition, etc. As far as your personal oxygen supply, am I supposed to shut off my car in your vicinity? 'cuz exhaust fumes cause cancer. Maybe I better learn to live without electricity because my power comes from a coal-fired plant and that's polluting your oxygen, too. And I guess the farmers better go back to draft animals because those tractors........! If it's so simple as smoking should be banned because it causes cancer, then I guess we need to all acknowledge that guns kill people a lot more effectively than smoking, and therefore they should be banned, too. And drinking and driving has caused many a tragedy. So, should we ban the liquor or the cars?? I guess it had better be the cars, since they pollute your oxygen, too. Everything in life carries a risk. It should be up to the individual what risk they will accept. Not decided by elected so-called representatives, working at the bequest of self-appointed "world savers". [/QUOTE]
