Here's a 69-page document (http://www.no-smoke.org/pdf/SHSBibliography.pdf) listing studies about secondhand smoke. Do you mean to tell me that 80% of these find that secondhand smoke is harmless?

I'll have to take a look at the list on a study by study basis and get back to you.

Common sense and my own personal experience tells me that either smokers and families of smokers sure have bad luck when it comes to health (and conversely, nonsmokers and families of nonsmokers sure have good luck) or smoking causes problems for those who do it and those who are around it.

So now we are to take anecdotal evidence?
Please don't try to mix muscrats and geese. They don't go well together.
You have to rely on one or the other so tell me which you will take.

I have to assume that they're all government stooges out to grab your cigarettes.

I don't really care if they grab my cigarettes or not. I routinely go for 4 or 5 days at a time without a cigarette.
I do, however, hate the taking of liberties on false pretenses.

As do I, but I don't see this as a false pretense.
