This is sad, but I have to ask, why did she choose to work there? She KNEW she had asthma.

Of course, the point of this article is to show why it is a good thing that government regulate business even further.

I remember when pro-smoking advocates tried to stop the cessation of smoking in sporting arenas and movie theaters.

I’m glad they failed. By the third period of hockey games I was sneezing like crazy and often felt ill.

When they banned cigarettes in restaurants in NY we were told by alarmists that bars and restaurants would all go out of business. Didn’t happen.

Years of smokers shoving it non-smoker’s faces are coming to an end. A lot of us non-smokers feel no sympathy for those that laughed at us when we asked them to put out their cigs because it was tough for us to breathe.

Smoke in your house, car and outside and keep it out of my face. And yes, I’m against banning cigarettes anywhere outdoors.

A woman in her late teens...

Wouldn't that be a girl in her late teens?

...died from an acute asthma attack triggered by secondhand cigarette smoke shortly after arriving at her job as a waitress in a bar...

So you're telling me she interviewed there and couldn't smell the smoke? And if she had asthma don't you think she could have found a better suited job than a bar waitress?

I know plenty of idiots that HAVE asthma that smoke. They are stupid, IMO.

For an asthmatic to work in a potentially very smoke-filled environment...is just as stupid.

We all do stupid things...some are fatal.

The anti-smoking movement may have just found their Len Bias.

Shouldn’t they at least have posted a picture of her with the article? The article does state “There’s are alot of blah blah blah about second hand smoke...here is a human face...” Where’s the human face MSNBC?
