I personally took a person to the morgue who was killed by second-hand smoke. She has asthma attack when her uncle smoked in the house.

She was 7.

I was a smoker at the time.

Asthma attacks can occur at any time, unfortunately.

The odd thing about the smoking cessation movement is that, as the numbers of smokers go down the number of new diagnoses of asthma goes up.

The general state of the air we breathe is much cleaner now than when we first were able to measure it and yet these same ailments torment us.

Too much we don’t know to focus on one thing as the sake of the rest.

So, the death certificate said that she died of second-hand smoke.

I would like to see that.
