non-smokers really need to be honest with themselves and who their fighting with. Is your argument really motivated by a realistic concern for your own health when you come in contact with second hand smoke, even briefly, or is it something you just dont like and for that reason swallow articles like the ones linked above and feed it to your fellow non-smokers to get all bent about?
I've worked on multple lung cancer trials, among other cancers, read thousands of pages of medical histories on these patients and not once have I ever read a doctors note even hinting that second hand smoke might have played a factor in their illness. Sure...the majority of the lung cancer patients did smoke. In fact, most of them were well over 70 and had been smoking since they were 15. Now that's some potent shit.
Obviously this approach has been working, so you'll continue with it. It just amazes me that this is the world you want to live in. If smoking were as dangerous as you suggest, you'd be fighting tooth and nail to make it illegal. As it is, you've gotten to a point where you have to almost look for ways to be inconvenienced by it, but still it's not enough. Somewhat pathological (though entertaining at times) in my opinion.
