Junk science? I guess what I observe in my work with people with lung cancer and emphysema is junk science also? I guess watching people gasp for breath in the process of dying is junk science? Just because some of you value your habit more than the lives of others should tell me all I need to know about many of you.

Tell that to the kids with breathing problems and allergies who live with parents who smoke. I guess they don't matter either. Anyone who wants to char their lungs, by all means, GO AHEAD!

Your answer was hyperbole, conjecture and emotion....

Then personal attack

Unfortunately, no fact.....

Again I challenge you to show a scientific study showing conclusively that second hand smoke presents a real danger to the general public.

No, it's not junk science, it's anecdotal evidence.
Is everyone you ever see with lung cancer and emphysema a smoker, or former smoker?

Tell me, why is it that while cigarette smoking has been declining steadily over the years, allergies and asthma seem to be on the rise?
