That's what I thought. You ask me for a citation and I attempt to give you one. I even apologise for a mistake I made.
I ask you for a citation and am ignored.
It's a one way street, eh?

All right, show me your PROOF that ETS causes harm to an otherwise normal healthy adult.
Until then, you can ask all you want. You will be ignored the same way you ignore others.

Ohio's law officially took effect on December 7th, but a lawsuit by a tavern owner's group forced the state to defer enforcing it until the rules were actually written in detail.

Some bars in the (southeast suburban Cleveland) area are enforcing it voluntarily. The one I work at will not until we are forced to. Our business is way up....since we are the ones respecting the wishes of our customers.

When "anti-smoking" initiatives pass, it proves that their are times that "democracy" does not equal liberty. It should be noted which of the two was the true cause of the Founders.

During the 1990s, antismoking zealots pushed OSHA for a permissable exposure limit (PEL) on ETS. When OSHA pointed out that the "bad" chemicals in ETS already had PELs, and that normal ETS levels did not even come close to exceeding them, they not only quit pushing for a PEL but now attempt to deny the validity of the concept.

When discussing occupational chemical exposure, denying the validity of PEL is like trying to talk about electricity while denying the importance of voltage.

Thanks for the ping! I am originally from Ohio, and I just can't believe what is happening there.
