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.

OF COURSE emphysema is CAUSED by first hand smoke, glad to know you are aware of that, but it is aggravated by 2nd hand smoke.

You obviously don't understand allergies & the part they play in asthma. A person is born with the tendancy to become allergic to the things that they encounter in their life. Nothing much you can do about that, its your genes. As the person encounters allergens the allergic reactions will *develop*. In the cases of my brother & me, it was cigarette smoke. Our father came back from WW2 a smoker & my mother soon joined him. My brother & I soon were both asthmatic children that lasted until we left home. Now neither of us have asthma attacks unless we are subjected to smoke. I have other allergies but *nothing* else causes me to have asthma other than tobacco smoke, with cigars being the worst.

As far as me having to start my own smoke free business, it looks like that won't be necessary. As it has been pointed out to you on this thread, things are going my way & it looks like smokers are 'sh*t outta luck'. (Heads up Joe, I've told you all this before)
