The whole nazi thing is cute, but it isn't really getting anywhere, and damages the credibility of your position.heh! Excuse me? This whole Anti Smoker's Teeth Sunk Into the Smokers is exactly the way the Nazi's went. You don't remember your history?
The things that I can say for certain are that cigarettes ruin car interiors, gunk up the walls of houses, stink to those who don't smoke, stain my teeth, make my breath stink, sap my lung power, make me cough, and cause ashey messes and a fire hazard.
So what! It's a LEGAL PRODUCT. Those of us that enjoy smoking do not look at it the same as you.
And all that is BEFORE we get to the idea that it is not good for asthmatics to be in a smoking environment, or the notion that second hand smoke does or doesn't cause measurable problems.
Ahhhhh your still under the asumption that smoking causes asthma, are you? Not true, and when I find the link I will post it here.
Damages MY Credibility? Well, check out my page:

"Ahhhhh your still under the asumption that smoking causes asthma, are you? Not true, and when I find the link I will post it here."
Smoking doesn't "cause" asthma, but any asthma researcher not on a tobacco company payroll will tell you that it aggravates existing asthma. Exposure to smoke is related to both asthma severity and incidence.
Smoking does cause many, many health problems. Secondhand smoke can indeed aggravate a long list of medical conditions.
Smokers try to imply that there is some kind of argument or controversy over the health effects of secondhand smoke in the sceintific community. This is not true. There is virtually no debate over the negative health effects caused by smoking - or even of secondhand smoke - in the scientific community. Every health agency which examines the issue draws the same conclusions. Those few people who challenge the consenus almost always turn out to be on the tobacco inductry payroll - and these are the people that the smokers keep citing to "prove" their argument against reality.

Read it and weep. Are you smokers dumb enough to keep inhaling this vileness? Worse than that, are you smokers mean enough to inflict the misery this vileness causes on others, especially asthmatics?
