I suppose you could print it and chew on it, but it is still irrelevant to point out the hazards of secondhand smoke when there is a proposal on the table that would insure that secondhand smoke does not reach non-smokers. I could always find similar statistics and references that show the dangers of motor vehicles to drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and small children, but no one is proposing that we ban automobiles (although they probably should). An analogy of smoking rooms to automobiles would be for risky drivers to only be allowed to drive dangerously only on roadways that are not connected to rest of the highway system (of course they'd also have to drive non-polluting cars as well).
