As someone who suffers from chronic lung ailments aggravated by being exposed to secondhand smoke, I call bullllsheet.

What's the next study we're going to see posted- booze is good for the liver? Study performed by Dr. C. Morgan, Dr. J. Walker, Dr. J. Daniels and Dr. J. Beam?

I unfortunately know someone who is undergoing lung surgeries (yes, plural) and she is deathly ill. They attribute her condition to having been raised in a smoking family. Being around that smoke until she went off to college took its irreversible toll.

This is entirely anecdotal. I could have said that 21 of my 23 nieces and nephews were raised in smoking households and not one of them has any condition that could be construed as being caused by secondhand smoke. Neither do the spouses or the smokers themselves for that matter, some of whom are now in their mid 70s.
I could have - but I didn't. Because it's anecdotal and nothing more.

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.

They both have agendas and neither will be completly honest. I honestly try my best to find independent studies when quoting statistics...then I don't run into this problem.
