Listen, I certainly do not have to explain anything to you, but most of us in here grew up in smoking households.
And many of us married and have children, who also grew up into smoking households. Most of our kids are strong, young adults today with babes of their own.
If you want to buy into the anti crap about second hand smoke hurting and killing everyone, that's your prerogative. But it's all lies, like it or not.
You just want to believe this crap because you hate smokers, you hate smoking and like some of your ilk YOU CAN'T STAND THE SMELL.
Well, "I" can't stand the smell of an unwashed body and a dirty mouth either. Personal hygiene has a lot do do with smells, and a good bar of soap and water and toothpaste and shampoo go along way.
I have hung with smokers since I was born. I started smoking at age 16, (peer pressure), and I hung with smokers for many years. It hasn't hurt ME or any of my family or friends. Don't even try to explain it to me, because you and I will never agree when it comes to the smoking issue.
"Smoking is a horrible thing to do to your body?" heh! What about alcoholism? Meth and drug use? Over eating? The list goes on and on and on. But all you can concentrate on is smoking. Pity.

I grew up in a smoking household. My parents still smoke. So what? I still think smoking is a horrible thing.

You can't prove that. Don't post your one or two links. Not enough research has been done by objective sources.

Sure it's harmed you. Look at your posts. Your anger is overwhelming towards people like me. It's alienated you to posting to your choir.

God, how wrong can one person be. I have spent years helping alcoholics. Do you know my thoughts, deeds and words?
Your inability to see past the glowing end of your cigarette has turned you into a most unpleasant poster.
Good day.
What a nutcase! The thread is about smoking, so why should someone be forced to list other harmful activities. Do you understand that lung cancer risk is an order of magnitude higher for smokers than non-smokers?
And, yes, I hate the smell. And you have certainly been harmed by smoking, as have your family members. Pity, indeed.
Your self-concious, hyperbolic responses might indicate that you are aware of the truth at some level, but resistant to it. Happy puffing.
I was sickened many times as an infant and young child from secondhand smoke. Once to the point of nearly dying.
As an ex-smoker, now quit for over 30 years, I've seen both sides of the fence.
And smoking can harm children. Period.
