"You omitted Gamma Radiation from your most informative list. You also failed to mention that tobacco smoke is responsible for global warming and extinction of the dinosaurs.

When you wish to perpetrate a myth include it all."

All those items are actually found in cigarette smoke. Lok it up.

Cigarette smoking is a very real health hazard. That's a fact, not a myth.

Do you eat meat? Do you eat commercially grown produce? Do you drink water? Do you breath air?

Why don't you build a little bubble to live in?

The arguments from the addicts here come in two forms:

1. Some version of "Smoking isn't harmful!"

That's not just wrong, it's stupid. Every reputable scientist, every reputable medical staffer, every government agency, every reputable university, every reputable research agency knows better than that. There is no argument in the scientific community about smoking being a health hazard. None.

2. Some version of "The government has no right to reguaate bars and restaurants! That's socialism! Waah!"

This is - again - not just wrong but stupid. Regulation of inns and pubs for the public good dates back to medieval England, centuries before anyone ever heard of Karl Marx. Every restaurant and bar in America is ALREADY under government regulation.

You addicts need to find a real argument somewhere. Arguing that cigarette smoke isn't harmful or that public health codes are somehow socialist is just too dumb for words.
