"So there you have it! Some people are affected by tobacco smoke and some aren't."

Most problems are genetically inherited. If you check the genealogy of your family you may find that relatives from the past had these same problems and may have never smoked.

But to say that 'some people are affected by tobacco' just isn't true. Without proof of causation, which does not exist, then you can't qualify the condition without researching other possible effects through heredity.

It all goes back to the allergy gene. My parents came from allergic backgrounds but did not have any allergies themselves. They passed those genes onto their children. You become allergic to the things you are exposed to and we were exposed to a house /car clouded with tobacco smoke our whole young lives. Had we not grown up in tobacco smoke it is likely that it would not cause us problems today.

Good lord, the rationalization going on here is amazing.

If a person coughs or has trouble breathing or their eyes burn or they get a headache every time they're around smoke, it doesn't matter whether you can prove causation or whether it's something in their genes that causes them to do it. I0t still happens. Period. They don't need scientific studies. They cannot be around smoke.
