It's a wonder that cigarette smoking hasn't caused the destruction and demise of the entire human race by now.

...The study results, published in the July 1 issue of the journal Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, suggest that children exposed to secondhand smoke may require more attention to their airways during surgery, particularly if they are receiving ventilation by face mask, the usual method for minor surgical procedures and in patients with heart or lung disease. Instead of face-mask ventilation, anesthesiologists may now want to consider placing an endotracheal tube to protect children against airway constriction and prevent aspiration of mucus, Jones says...I will use one of Rush's favorite sayings here..."follow the money".
I would like a more thorough study of the problem. I smoke cigars. My wife despises the smell, and complains... I need to go study some more!

"For the children" has been invoked.
I've noticed all the "children of smokers" headlines recently. There's even a tear-jerking ad campaign in the subway.
Just because I can see the Smoking Police aiming what they clearly think is their silver bullet (it's worked for so many others) -- blatant pseudo-moral sloganeering -- doesn't mean I'm in favor of making children breathe cigarette smoke, by the way. I am not a smoker, I can't stand cigarette smoke, I don't know how I survived as the children of two chain smokers (it might explain a lot of things).
But I detest seeing any group marginalized by the powers that be for sport and/or a basis point or two on the balance sheet an insurance company's balance sheet.
That sword will cut both ways.

on the balance sheet an insurance company's balance sheet. that is, "on the balance sheet of an insurance company."

Good grief. How the he-- did anyone make it out of the 50s and 60s alive? Imagine, generations of walking miracles.
Someone has a great animated gif of a guy running and screaming hysterically. It would be perfect here.

The most serious threat to a child today is an abortionist.
If cigarettes are so deadly, then why is abortion legal; it is after all cold blooded murder.
Oh, that's right.
Abortion is a woman's choice.
We can't have any other choices though, can we?

Yes, and people that live with terrorists are more likely to get killed than those that don't.

I spent decades being the only person in whatever part of the world I was in who didn't smoke. I've sat in meetings in 20x50' rooms with thirty people who were chain smoking and it would be two hours after I got out before my eyes would work again.
Do not ask me to feel sorry for people who still smoke cigarettes...

If you bothered to read the article you would see that the purpose of the article is to inform anesthesiologists so that they may provide better care for their patients.

"the purpose of the article is to inform anesthesiologists so that they may provide better care for their patients"
I did a research paper compiling information from studies on the effects of second-hand smoke on children living in homes where there was at least one smoker. The most significant finding, in my view, was that there was an increase in dental caries in children living in those homes.

Exactly.
For the record, I think smoking in the house is nasty. Unless it's a mansion with a special room (had a friend with one of those...). Smoking in a car with the windows up is nasty, too. And, no, it should not be done at all with kids inside. That, however is a suggestion of courtesy, and should be common sense. (It just makes everything smell bad forever.)
That aside, this hysteria is worse. I hate control-freak-nanny-staters more than the smell of Camel lights (ugh).

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Why is it always "suggests" or "it may be" or (my favorite) "it's possible".
"It's possible" that my aunt is really my uncle in drag. But's it's not very probable knowing my uncles the way I do.

I was a kid in the 60s in Pittsburgh, during that time frame, people smoked everywhere. Restaurants, grocery stores, department stores, offices, everywhere.
And if you stepped out of your house for a breath of fresh air, every vehicle on the road spewed noxious fumes. The mills were in full operation, the outside air smelled like rotten eggs, sewage, whatever. You could tell what part of town you were in based on the peculiar smell.
Yet, I and millions of other kids lived. And the rate of asthma and ADD and ADHD and a hundred other pediatric ailments was a whole lot less than it is in the current day.
I wonder if mankind is in rapid devolution, and becoming less adaptable to a varied environment. It would certainly seem so, if there is any merit to all of the reports of these scientists
