Secondhand smoke is the third leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. killing 38,000 to 65,000 nonsmokers every year.

and what would be the first and second leading preventable causes? Shouldn't we be focused on those as well? I've heard on several news reports how obesity is the number one cause of preventable death. If that's the case why villify one group of people? We should be banning the whole lot of harmful products. Instead we have a push for a modern day prohibition. The government doesn't need to ban something until other alternatives are tried.
What I also find amusing is people who can't stand smoke and who say it's bad for you then they drink till they pass out. I guess liver cancer is better than lung cancer right?
The facts are this. We don't know what really causes cancer and what doesn't. People just need to be considerate of all involved. This goes for both parties.
