Then I have to wonder ....why is it that when I was a kid, in the 70's, and ALL OF US were exposed to large amounts of cigarette smoke, NONE OF US had allergies?

You are correct!  I was raised in a family of smokers.  I never complained.  It was a part of life.

I was never sick with asthma and all this stuff the anti's claim that second hand smoke is doing to our kids today.

My daughter grew up in a house of two smokers and lots of smoking friends would come and visit.  She never once had asthma or was EVER sickly like the kids of today.

Very suspicious, isn't it!

I was born with Asthma, bronchial phenomena, whooping cough, and spent the first 6 months of my life in an oxygen tent.

My parents didn't smoke.

By the fifth grade I was awarded two Presidential physical fitness awards and my ailments dissipated and never returned even after pleasuring myself with tobacco.

It kinda' tells me that perhaps people sadly enough can have issues but to place ALL issues on smoking is ludicrous.

Smoking can be considered bad by some on a personal basis, however as long as it's a legal commodity, it should be treated as a personal preference as many other commodities are.

I grew up in a non-smoking household and had severe asthma.

My 5 kids grew up with 2 smoking parents and no asthma or allergic rhinitis (whatever THAT is).

Go figure !
