I have asthma because of exposure to second-hand smoke growing up. While I'd love to trust the word of a proprietor of a cancer store and one of his brothers, I think I'm going to listen to a team of MDs instead.

As someone who has seen 3 of her family members die and 2 others almost die from the effects of smoking, I have never smoked, and I never will.

However, I am someone who has Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, and other breathing issues because of my exprousure to second hand smoke all my life.

Also many states now have laws that outlaw smoking in any public area, including restaurants I know Cali and Florida do....
