Many of us have known this for a long time. This is just one of many attempts to accustom us to government intrusion in our private lives "for our own good and the good of the children." With national healthcare they will be able to control nearly all we do because they are paying for it.

Must be a last gasp to seem relevant.
The Surgeon General said second hand smoke is dangerous. He did not specify cigarette smoke, coal smoke, wood smoke, or car exhaust. Breathing smoke, whatever the source, is bad for you.
Ans remember, 2 out of 3 epidemiology studies are wrong. The other third have not had a contradictory report released yet.

Personally, I'd rather get my smoke first-hand.
It's a lot less dangerous than that DEADLY second-hand smoke.
You just don't know where it's been...

I digress further...
I'm looking forward to the studies about third-hand smoke, which is so dangerous, it kills the breather - and their first-born male - on contact.

Sometimes when the woodstove is going there is an atmospheric inversion of some kind that causes the stove to emit a large quantity of woodsmoke into the room, then the stove continues to draw as if nothing had happened. Is that woodsmoke safer to breathe than second-hand tobacco smoke? It must be safer or the Gov't would tax it. It is amusing to note while shopping at the mall whose clothing smells like woodsmoke because those are the real Alaskans.

Gori nails it,Gori has an upcoming article ("The Surgeon General's Doctored Opinion") that will appear in the spring issue of the Cato Institute's Regulation Magazine. I don't know if it will be online, but I'll be on the lookout for it.
To: RS
It depends on the state. There have been riots over the issue and they've had about as much success with it as it appears from your link that Canada has.
What are they gonna do jail 'em?

Yes, that yellow/brown tar and heavy metals clogging up your a/c filter is a figment of your imagination and has no effect whatsoever on the lungs of anyone in the room breathing that same air. /sarc

You must smoke a REALLY large amount of tobacco.
I smoek in my home and have never seen anything such as you describe on my filters.
