Right. But you have to realize that we all have to die from SOMETHING. You looked up the statistics. An 85 year old who gets lung cancer didn’t necessarily get it from smoking or SHS. In 1900 the average lifespan was 47. Now it’s close to 80. And these people lived their entire lives enveloped by smoke. From fireplaces, campfires, the environment, cigarettes, lack of nutrititon, etc. Not everyone dies from lung cancer. If you live long enough, you’ll die from something, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, accidents, etc. ALL men will develop prostate cancer if they live long enough. Our increased lifespans give us increased risk of getting all kinds of diseases. The differnce is we can keep people alive long enough to develop diseases that would have done us in 100 years ago.

I wasn't trying to suggest anything else. Just posting some facts.
