We all know how to stop smoking-related illnesses: stop smoking.And here we are not even talking about smoking. We're talking about ETS, or second hand smoke.
ETS is where the premis comes for all the smoking bans throughout the country.

Before the Vietnam War, we didn't worry about who was overweight, who smoked, or who drank. We had lots of overweight people who smoked and drank throughout America, but it was nobody's business if they did so. Surpringly, there's been no statistics to show that ETS was in any way damaging to anyone back then. In the good old days, Mom and Pop probably smoked at home and in the car. And no one got sick from ETS. If you went into a meeting at work, almost EVERYBODY smoked. And no one got sick from ETS.
We've turned ourselves into such weinies in this country that it's almost impossible to go anywhere and not see people wearing kneepads, elbowpads, and crash helmets that look like bedpans for just about all outdoor activities. Our children's playgrounds are covered with soft fluffy wood chips to prevent injuries. People become almost religiously indignant if someone lights up a cigarette or cigar. When will this nonsense stop?
