Post #233,862 by pwhysall 11/13/05 2:39:31 AM Reply	It's a difficult topic On the one hand, it's hard to see how something (smoke) that definitely does kill people (smokers) can be harmless once it's exhaled (do the smokers' lungs filter out all the nasties, or something? They certainly don't filter out the stink - you MINGERS). On the other, it's the kind of thing for which data collection is extraordinarily difficult. Intuitively, I simply do not believe the bleatings of smokers who say that second-hand smoke is harmless. However, I have no science to back that up whatsoever.

Post #233,881 by boxley 11/13/05 11:55:25 AM Reply	of course second hand smoke is bad for you which is why you shouldnt smoke in enclosed areas with other people (especially kids) inhaling your smoke, make the fuckers buy their own ciggarettes. All fun aside if I light a choker in the car wih the kids inside, it affects their breathing almost immediately. thanx, bill "the reason people don't buy conspiracy theories is that they think conspiracy means everyone is on the same program.

So is hanging around gas islands, working in a textile factory, or driving a deisel school bus. All activities that place your oxygen extractors at risk. thanx, bill "the reason people don't buy conspiracy theories is that they think conspiracy means everyone is on the same program.
