OK what of this problem doesn't compute? You choose to have an addiction that is bad for your health. You choose willingly pay for a habit that is going to kill you. OK fine, we've all done it at some time or another, I can deal with that. Subject others around you who don't appreciate the finer points of carcinagens and ash smells it produces, let alone put holes in the comforter because you weren't paying attention, fine? But why,GOD,why would you go to the next step and buy products to cover up the smell? 15 bucks for some automatic air freshener? Another 12 for carpetfresh and airspray? I understand you don't like the smell yourself, but just fucking quit!!! Why in hell would you go throwing good money after bad?? Where on God's green earth does that make sense???

Just something I found....

•A real threat for the health

Inhaling unintentionally other’s fumes constitute a small, but as well a real risk for the health. For those who has the vogue to minimize it, know that those secondary fumes contain more toxics and carcinogenic than the ones that smokers inhale. Even if the danger is directly link to the length of time that you get exposed in it (a day, but principally all of your life), certain population groups are particularly vulnerable: children, pregnant women, people with existing cardiovascular or cerebro-vascular disease, and those with asthma and other respiratory disorders.

Moreover, those in lower socioeconomic groups are at greater risk of exposure than those in better-off groups. In adults, second-hand smoke increases the risk of lung cancer by some 20-30 per cent and the risk of coronary heart disease by 25-35 per cent. In children, exposure to second-hand smoke increases the risk of lower respiratory tract illnesses, asthma, middle-ear infection and sudden infant death syndrome.
There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke, and adverse effects can be seen at low levels of exposure.
In USA about 5,000 non smokers die of lung cancer every year. In Italy about 1,000 people die because of passive smoke every year. Every day around 30 people die in the U.K. as a result of second-hand smoke and in France 3000 people die every year also. Every year more than 53000 people die of passive smoke.

 

So let's abbreviate....Your fucking killing me and the kids faster than you're killing yourself!!!!!!!THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Good points. Neal Boortz is a huge advocate to consider smoking around children, to be considered child abuse. That may be a bit extreme, but his point is well taken.

While I'm not dumb enough to argue against the harmful effects of smoking and second hand smoke, it's tough to scientifically attribute lung cancer in non-smokers to any one cause. Also, I don't know but I'd suspect that the link between smoking and SIDS is shaky. Since smokers are statistically less educated and less well off financially, there exist other reasons for the SIDS rate to be higher: lack of education about preventing it, they could work more hours, have multiple jobs and are therefore be unable to supervise their children as well and unlikely to afford better daycare, etc. I'm not defending smoking in the least, I'm just offering other possibilities for the relationship between the two. BTW, I'm a non smoker. And that pic of the lungs freaked me out.
