MS: Smoking at Home Threatens Children Despite Support for Public Bans
quote from post #229
I am passionate about little kids being afforded clean air among their few vital needs.(winston2)
The only way that will occur is if you put them in a bubble. I live in the country, out in the middle of nowhere and still there is pollution.(Gabz)
One point that I haven't seen mentioned is how air tight our dwellings and automobiles are these days.(winston2)
I may not have mentioned it on this particular thread, but I discuss that on a regular basis. The airtight homes and sterile environments so many kids live with in these times is more of a danger to their health than exposure to a bit of cigarette smoke.
Every sickly kid I know comes from a household where they are not permitted to get dirty, anti-bacterial soaps and wipes are used constantly, and are all non-smoking households. All the healthy kids I know are allowed to be kids - they play outside, they get dirty, they've been known to even eat dirt and many live in non-smoking households, but others live in households with smokers, or are around friends and relatives that are smokers.(Gabz)
Geesh.
It's worse than I thought.
Well, gabz'z description fits me to a tee. Grew up a farm kid, always in mud and cow-pens. Been a welder and mechanic for 17 1/2 years, and there's more toxic smoke at work than any cigarette could offer me,and I am hardly ever sick. Haven't been to the doctor, other than when I broke my leg in the military,(14 YEARS AGO) and for a physical last month. He says I look great all-around. I can easily keep up with my friends 18 year old son, and easily throw 1100 hay bails in the barn on a 90 degree day.I am 6'1 190 pounds, with about 15% body fat. Most sickly people I know just sit around all day doing nothing(and they say they can't do anything because they're sickly). My kids aren't sick either. I have used snuff and smoked since 1986. Make of it what you will.
"You would deduce from "Gabz"'s line of though that children would be healthier if they had a tobacco smoke producing machine in their bedroom."
Her comments say no such thing, but don't hesitate to continue down your decietful path. BTW, when you talk about another FReeper, it is polite to ping them to the comments.
You broke the 2 most important rules of internet positing - you did not inform the person you were talking about, and you chose to mislead others about what the person said.
As far as I am concerned you are worthless as someone to bother with.
If I find you posting about me again without letting me know I will be reporting you for abusive posting. This was an EXTREMELY abusive post.
