Prove it.

If any parent deliberately, continuously and needlessly burns something which releases potential carcinogens and other chemicals within close proximity to the child on a regular basis, that parent is abusive.

But if you believe burning who-knows-what in the vicinity of a child is okay, then you should be able to argue with a straight face that we should smoke in neonatal units, pipe tobacco smoke into a child's room to help calm his nerves while he sleeps, and stick him in the middle of a crowded car full of smokers.

Most cities' air is as bad as smoking a pack a day.
I and two siblings were raised in a smoking household.
I raised four kids in a smoking household.
I know many people who were raised in a smoking household.

If second hand smoke was anywhere near as bad as you and all the enviro wackos make it out to be,no one raised in a smoking household would live to be an adult.

I've got a fire burning in my woodstove right now..........burning wood releases potential carcinogens - are we going to be banning woodstoves and fireplaces next???
