The argument is your father has made his choice and I feel no need to debate the issue with you further. It is doubtful that smoking is the sole cause of your father's illness and if it is he should quit. You should be happy that you live in a state where people can't afford to run their air conditioning yet there is no smoking and businessmen are forced into paying for the very government that is trying to put them out of business(Yea for Gray Davis). The rolling blackouts have affected your brain. Please send me your guns soon I need more.

Debate. Requires participants to stay on point.

Thank you for the kind words about my dad. Truth is his cholesteral is perfect but his lungs are not. Doc points out how non-smokers and smokers differ in their rates of progress toward recovery from heart by-pass. That information would be anecdotal to his surgeon and his cardiologist but it is their observation and record.

Not sure what air conditioning has to do with smoking ban; we have many problems in California but as yet we have not had a rolling black out where I live. Again, Flurry, use your intellect to make your points, it will be better for both of us.
