Just to throw some smoke on the fire:
>From a 1998 World Health Organization study (from the
abstract):
"CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate no association
between childhood exposure to ETS and lung cancer
risk. We did find weak evidence of a dose-response
relationship between risk of lung cancer and exposure
to spousal and workplace ETS. There was no detectable
risk after cessation of exposure."
ETS is second-hand smoke.
This ban would be extreme - but, if we go ahead with
it, then....
I have near-death reactions to perfumes ergo we must
ban those stinky (and dangerous) fragrance counters at
all retail stores. And, while we're at it magazines
with perfume samples should be banned as well. I like
that loud music ban too. And, I get skin rashes from
certain types of detergents - we must ban those or
require that napkins at St. Paul restaurants be made
of paper. Oh, don't forget my peanut allergies - I
won't ask for a ban on that - just require postings at
the door and in the menus if a restuarant has any
peanut products on site.

Note: I don't have any of the above, they're only
examples. I also don't smoke, but don't begrudge
those who do.
