You are missing the point of my post entirely. I do not support the anti-smoking Nazis who seek to regulate every sort of private taste. I do not support the people who try to make smoke and smokers out to be the chief evil of all time.

I am, however, sympathetic to a young girl who died of asthma. No matter what tragedy occurs, there are many people on this forum who have no compassion for the deceased.

It may be difficult for you to believe, but for people who are allergic or sensitive to it, tobacco smoke can indeed trigger a severe asthma attack. So can other inhalants (oil fumes, diesel, perfumes, animal dander, pollen, etc.) There’s nothing wrong with pointing out that smoke too can trigger attacks.

My daughter is allergic to peanuts. I get extremely angry with the Darwin comments. Nobody would say that to my face.

But the point is, Gubmint can not protect her from everything. She has to learn to carry her Benadryl strips and EpiPen and take care of herself. We’ll teach her.

She will be self reliant. NOT dependent on Gubmint do gooders.
