Yes, in that case I see it.
I haven't seen a study, yet, that breaks down location of exposure as related to illness (except in-home versus public).
With as many bars and restaurants as there are, you would think, if the risk was as "significant" as many claim, there would be a rash of people dying that used to work in a bar and/or restaurant.
We just don't see that, so, I question the correlation.
By the way, here is one of the studies I read last night. It is pre-1993, so I figured I might learn more from a study that didn't rely heavily on the flawed EPA one from 1993.
1986 Surgeon General Report:
The Health Consequences of Involuntary Smoking
