The information from is anecdotal. Did your doctors point you to research on second hand smoke?

“The information from is anecdotal. Did your doctors point you to research on second hand smoke?”

It’s not anecdotal. Anecdotal would be if just one person ostensibly developed bladder cancer from exposure to cigarette smoke. But finding carcinogens in the lining of the bladder that are traced to cigarette smoke takes it out of the realm of anecdote and into the realm of reasonable degree of medical certainty.

Go on any web site dealing with bladder cancer and you’ll find the number one risk factor is cigarettes.

I really think many smokers are in denial about what their smoking does to themselves and others. Cigarette smoke is full of carcinogens. That is just a simple fact.
