My husband has asthma, too. He grew up in a no-smoking home. His Dad died at age 37 when DH was 13. His dad had that lung cancer you get from asbestos which he contracted while he was in the Navy removing asbestos from submarines because it wasn't good for us. Go figure.
Everyone can trade family stories on this stuff all day long. It makes no difference.
What does make a difference is the constant chipping away of our rights by the Nanny Staters and the Smoke Gnatzies based on bogus, manipulated data. Both of you had better not be fat, because they're coming for "the fatties" next. ;)
One's right to not smoke does not trump another's right to smoke when the product is legal and taxed. If it's so deadly, take it off the market as they did with asbestos. Create yet another Black Market for a product, because we all know how lucrative that is. ;)
But darn...the government has a hard time taxing the h3ll out of those Black Market products, so I guess that won't be happening any time soon, LOL! I mean, the War on Drugs has been such a stellar success. *Rolleyes*
That's right, but it hasn't stopped you from doing it. So let's look at the scientific studies instead, and when they are tallied, it comes out against the tobacco activists.
Keep calling us nanny staters and Nazis. It's not helping your cause. If you are confident that your conclusions are factual you wouldn't have to do that.
