" You may want to take that up with OSHA and the EPA. Those agencies have established criteria other than "virtually any exposure over the zero baseline level."

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Response <-- Link

"The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established a maximum safe working level for carbon monoxide at 35 parts per million (ppm) over an 8 hour period, in the general work-place. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established that residential levels are not to exceed 9 ppm over an 8 hour average."

The last time I looked at a CO detector the minimum detectable of amount of CO was 9 PPM. Thanks for proving my point.

I don't see how that fact proves your point in any way whatseover.

Are you asserting that the level of CO in a typical public indoor space with second hand smoke is 9 ppm and will set off a CO detector?

People don't spend 24-7 in a bar or other workplace like they might in a house. The OSHA limits are more applicable.

Why do the smoke nannies fear setting a real-number limit? The reason is clear: said limit could be acheived by engineering controls instead of behavior modification and the latter is their objective.

Not so fast, grasshopper.

He has done no such thing.
Your brainless point referred to "anything above the zero baseline level".

I know I know... the end justifies the means, and what's a little hyperbole?
