Her comments say no such thing, but don't hesitate to continue down your decietful path. BTW, when you talk about another FReeper, it is polite to ping them to the comments.

Every sickly kid I know comes from a household where they are not permitted to get dirty, anti-bacterial soaps and wipes are used constantly, and are all non-smoking households. All the healthy kids I know are allowed to be kids - they play outside, they get dirty, they've been known to even eat dirt and many live in non-smoking households, but others live in households with smokers, or are around friends and relatives that are smokers.

Let me explain my power of deduction: Our friend, Gabz seems to believe that children from homes where parents, friends and relatives smoke are healthier than children from homes without smoke. (gasp) I deduce that (if what she says is true) then, children would be healthier if they had a device in their bedroom that would provide those young lungs with the nutritional benefits of tobacco smoke.

What do you think?

I must add one caveat - I do feel that both of you are very good people and any disagreement we have in forum is just that and doesn't mean that I do not like you.

My dad was a smoker who died at the age of 55 of heart failure with his lunch packed away in the refrigerator for the next day.

One of my classmates (17 years old) in 1975 was killed in a car after smoking pot and losing control.

My mother died at 51 from a heart attack. Never smoked.

Close friend died 5 years ago at 39 from breast cancer. Never smoked.

I can do this all night.

Not smoking didn't fix their life.

Nobody knows that your father wouldn't have suffered the same fate as a non smoker. Happens to thousands of young non smokers every day.

Let me explain your power of deduction:

IT IS NON-EXISTENT.

Picking and choosing what someone says to suit your own agenda is NOT deductive reasoning - it is selective editorializing..........I worked in media, in fact I used to be a reporter - nothing in your post is deductive or objective.

The point being made is that children need to be exposed to things as they develop. That allows them to build their immune systems. The WHO study actually proved that exposure to SHS as children did reduce the rate of later contraction of asthma, allergies and lung diseases.

The children of today live in a steril environment and we are seeing the rates of asthma and allergies skyrocketing.
