Bell pointed out that central Harlem - where a significant number of children come into the foster-care system - also has the highest asthma rate in the city.

Smoking and Asthma has no connection, take a look at the poluted outside air.

Blooming has flipped his lid.

You know, the more I think about this, the more frosted I become.

These are children that are coming from the very WORST homes imaginable. They are beaten, assaulted, and neglected in every way, but my husband and I would not be considered "fit" foster parents because there is smoking in the home???

They truly have gone quite mad.

As you may or may not know, I am in the process of handing my state senator his head on a platter over this state-wide smoking ban. He can't understand why I feel like the government is trying to marginalize smokers. I plan to take this article in for his perusal.
