How about the freedom of kids to grow up without asthma or lung cancer from negligent parents?

Seriously, you seem to believe the anti-smoker rhetoric...would you be open to the truth?

ETS (environmental tobacco smoke) does NOT cause asthma; although it MAY exacerbate an existing condition. Children who grow up in homes with smoking parents are 22% LESS LIKELY to get lung cancer later in life. Those two statements are absolute facts and if you're interested, I'll point you to the proof.

I agree with you max, the issue here is not child endagerment from second hand smoke, it is the government (left ) handing us ignorant peasants some rules so that we know who is in charge of our lives.

I personally know how everyone should live and I would lead us to a world of peace and prosperity, (with me in charge). Never mind that many people would rather live their own lives without infringement from me, I am so sure I am right that I have to start somewhere. (right?)

Where do they get so much chutzpa?

Proof? Perhaps paid by the tobacco companies who have for years denied any link between smoking and cancer? Maybe you can find proof that the world is flat too but pretty much every real scientist agrees that smoking is bad for you.
