If second hand smoke is SO harmful, the entire baby boom generation would be dropping like flies. Few of us would have made it past forty, as when we were growing up, it was E V E R Y W H E R E. The only place you couldn't smoke was in an elevator.

37 years old with throat cancer from SHS? PROVE IT! This is bull$hit. How could she have gotten it from SHS when heavy smokers don't get it at 37? There are other risk factors, namely ingestion of alcohol. Has she ever had an alcoholic beverage?

And (big And!) the link between cigarette smoking and cancer probably never would have been established.

As the mother of five healthy Boomers I agree------by the way,none of them smoke but they grew up up surrounded by smoke. They always were,and are,quite healthy.

The only health problem they had was chicken pox and we sure can't blame smoking for that (although the antis would if they could).

What a ridiculous world we are living in !

That's right. I never knew an adult that didn't smoke when I was growing up, and they smoked all the time, anywhere and everywhere.
