As for second hand smoke........

I'm not going to argue with that.
New Scientist wrote an article about fast food once..."early exposure to fatty foods could reconfigure children's bodies so that they always choose fatty foods. That exposure will critically effect 1/2 kids in America with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, colon cancer, gout, arthritis, menstrual abnormalities, sleep apnea and diabetes by 2010."
And I'm not even going to start posting statistics of how many people are killed by each of those health problems each year.
Hint, its about 20 times more than die from second hand smoke and smoking.
