Good point, but aren't there lots of patients who are not in rooms with heavy concentrations of oxygen? I'm hoping to hear more on the question of whether second-hand smoke really is safe.

Second Hand Smoke is NOT The Killer The Anti's Want You To Believe.  Check out all the studies that have been and are being done on this issue:

Second Hand Smoke Studies

Second Hand Smoke Scam

Second Hand Smoke is Harmful To Science

Smoke Claim Disputed

Passive Smoking Doesn't Cause Cancer - Official

Second Hand Smoke - The Evidence

(I think any anti who tries to dismiss the findings of the U.S. Department of Energy labs at Oak Ridge, should be confronted with the question: "Are you saying that DOE researchers committed scientific fraud and that their findings on ETS exposure are untrue? "I'd like to see what any anti would say in response to that question. )

You read all the lies about second hand smoke and passive smoke.

Now read the TRUTH!

Smokers’ rights cloud ASHRAE IAQ debate

Dozens of bar owners and representatives from casinos, restaurant industry trade groups and tobacco companies spoke during the two-hour open forum. Many of the speakers came to the forum from Canada, where several cities have passed or are considering totally banning smoking in restaurants, bars and bingo parlors. Most of the restaurant owners said they have lost or will lose up to 25% of their business if a smoking ban in enacted in their communities.

"S S econdhand smoke stinks - but is it killing people? There was a study of the wives of the smokers - they have crummy health habits. They eat terrible diets of meat and fat, they don't get any exercise, but when they show up with worse health statistics, it's blamed on secondhand smoke, not on all the other factors.

Hi SheLion

Wow - thanks for all the links.

I saw this coming when they started passing helmet laws for adult motorcyclists. My co-workers thought I had watched too many episodes of X-Files when I told them, "what's next, smoking, junk food?"

In this instance...boy, I hate being right.

As others have said, it's not about health, it's about control.

Best Regards

Wow... Did anybody just get knocked off the site?

That was weird. (No... I haven't been drinking...but not a bad idea! :))

I fear we are becoming a nanny state, where some people want the government to make our choices for us.

When do we allow people to grow up if someone is always going to be calling the shots on what they think is good or bad for them?

What happened to the rugged individualism that this Country was founded on?

I hope that we can right this ship, and allow each person to make their own decisions in regards to what they decide to put into their mouths.
