I really can't believe that this is being brought up as part of the anti-smoking campaign.
"I feel very reluctant to bring up anyones death as part of this smoking debate, but it is in fact Life and Death that we are talking about in this issue." An over exaggeration of the facts, but on the same line; everytime you get in a car it's Life and Death, every time you cross the street it's Life and Death, every time an asthmatic smells cologne or perfume it can be Life and Death, a bee sting can be Life and Death. Not saying long term, significant, exposure to second hand smoke may not be harmful to some, but so is pollution from cars and public transportations' busses. "When I saw this, I wondered if her exposure to second hand smoke in bars may have had something to do with it." Shows the engrained ideology; what about her eating habits, was she obese, was she prone genetically, was she just plain unlucky? "Owners of Bars must be having the same kinds of thoughts when they read stories like this, only they are hoping they don't get sued, while I am hoping they do." Not that I have any love for the owners of bars, bars and alcohol have caused more misery than smoking every will. However, remember this slippery slope. First it was guns and lawsuits against manufacturers, then cigarettes, now bars, what's next? McDonalds, Burger King? Already under way. And we wonder why the cost of products is going up so fast.
