You prove that it doesn't. I don't need a study to tell me that smoking is killing people. I WORK WITH IT EVERYDAY!

I don't need a study to tell me that smoking is killing people.

All right, let's come to the point.
Smoking is a statistical gamble.
ETS, secondhand smoke, has just as many scientific studies saying it isn't even a statistical gamble as it does saying it is, no matter how small, a statistical gamble.
How do you explain that?

"You prove that it doesn't. I don't need a study to tell me that smoking is killing people. I WORK WITH IT EVERYDAY!"

First, it was your contention that second hand smoke is dangerous...You need to back up YOUR statements....

Second, your now mixing the proverbial "apples and oranges' to buttress your previous assertion.

No-one would disagree that smoking is good for your health, but that wasn't the issue, WAS IT? The issue was second hand smoke....No sleight of hand tactics here to change the subject, try to stay on topic.

Now support your statement....or let others on this forum judge your assertions as "ridiculous"....

So, if people would just stop smoking, they would live?

WOW! That's great news.....

My Dad is 98 already and has smoked 2 packs a day since he was 14. I wonder how old he'll get if he stops?

More anectdotal evidence.....

From what I see, second hand smoke is not dangerous, just annoying. I applaud any business that bans it voluntarily... and I decry any stupid government arm that tries to ban it forcefully.
