Does it matter?
It's still got to be Second Hand Smoke. Or something.

RIP.

Though she may not have smoked, she was a cabaret singer.

The harm of second hand may be more than people suspect.

If her parents smoked, she could have been exposed to second home smoke in the home...

The point being we should protect children from second hand smoke - by at least making people aware of the health dangers (I have read of studies that second hand smoke may cause harm).

If exposure to smoke as a child might have been a factor in her death, then people want to be aware of this fact.

My parents stopped smoking when I was a small child because they did want to harm us - and they did want to set a bad example. This was back in the 1950s before there were any health warnings on TV (in fact TV was quite young at that time).
