Tobacco smoke, my eye - living in Calif. is hazardous to her health.

My husband has smoked ever since we were married in 1975. Both of us are in fine health. However, should we drive from our place in North Central Florida to Tampa, we both develope a pain in our lungs. Same with any visit to New York.

This suit is just another part of the 'smoke and mirror' act they are playing to misdirect the publics attention from matters of a more serious nature.

This is, of course, just my humble opinion.

City air can be very irritating; it's mainly the ozone that is the problem. There's a good chance that that is the original cause and if they moved out into the country, it would help the girl immeasureably.

I am extremely sensitive to smoke and fragrances myself and unless you suffer from it, there is no way to understand what it feels like when you encounter it, and the stuff it everywhere. Not being able to breather properly is pretty scary. You can go days without food and even water but it's minutes without air.

That being said, I also don't favor legislation to solve every problem in life.

I hope you and your husband live long and healthy lives. Both of my parents died of cancer. They were both smokers. I wish someone would play a smoke and mirrors game to misdirect my attention away from their deaths and toward more serious matters.
