Post up the quote from a "real" study, that was done blind, that says this and I will concede the point.
I'm sure you'll argue with this because it's based off of scientific reviews (six) and not a blind study, but

Quote:
It is concluded that:
· Exposure to second-hand smoke causes the following diseases and conditions:
In adults
· Heart disease
· Lung cancer
· Nasal sinus cancer
That was about 3 minutes of just Google searching. I can talk to my buddy at Merck with access to actual study databases and see if he can turn anything up if you want, but I have a feeling you'd argue regardless, and I feel silly pulling in outside resources for TFP Politics argument about smoking bans.
