While a growing majority of Americans favor smoking restrictions in public places, many adults still expose their children to significant health risks by puffing tobacco at home



As a former smoker (quit a year ago) I told many people that public smoking bans were just the beginning. Now they are going to go after you in your home. Soon it will be considered child abuse to smoke around your kids. This IS going to happen. And liberals claim NOT to be communists.

Right.

Well, I am thankful my kid is grown and married.  I really pity the young people coming up today.  Everything is being banned and restricted.  No fun no more.

Forcing anyone to breath unnecessary smoke is abuse. Doing it to your own kids is the worse kind of abuse. At least adults can opt out, children have no such option.

Also, it is a myth that so-called second hand smoke harms the health of anyone. There is no scientific or medical evidence or studies that have proved this claim.

Question: Now that fewer than 4 out of 10 Americans smoke cigarettes, why has the incidents of death from lung cancer increased (according to the CDC)?

Question: Japan has the highest per capita consumption of cigarettes in the industrial world -- and the fewest deaths from lung cancer and heart diseases? Explain.

Anyone?
