I have told you before Joe, its not your health I'm concerned about, its mine. If that makes me a health nazi then I guess I am. You can smoke yourself to death, with my blessing, if thats what you want.

You have learned something. Instead of the blanket statment "2nd hand smoke doesn't hurt anyone" you have added a qualifier "without a preexisting condition". That is not entirely correct because emphysema, is mostly caused by smoking (look it up) & if asthma is triggered by tobacco smoke (mine is) then the smoke came before the condition.

BZZZZZT. Wrong examples to make.
Emphysema is mostly caused by FIRST HAND SMOKE, not ETS. There goes that argument.
Asthma is the condition not ETS. Whether the CONDITION is triggered by ETS, automobile exhaust, dust, or anything else, the CONDITION was there first.

Thanks for your blessing and if it's YOUR health that you're concerned about my suggestion would be to start your own non-smoking business and let others make that decision for themselves.

So.......your saying the Government ORNL Lab committed FRAUD about second hand smoke????

Project Title: Environmental Tobacco Smoke Study

I think any anti who tries to dismiss the findings of the U.S. Department of Energy labs at Oak Ridge, should be confronted with the question: "Are you saying that DOE researchers committed scientific fraud and that their findings on ETS exposure are untrue?"

I'd like to see what you would say in response to that question.
