Wrong.

Second-hand smoking causing diseases is trash. Everyone really knows it.

There are 41 different causes of cancer. One being smoking. Shift-work is another. And stress, diet, alcohol, etc.

P Smoking research only takes 4-5 of these causes into account, so it is junk science. For every one of these studies showing a link, six more do not.

Even though the amount of smokers has halved in the last 30 years, lung cancer rates have gone up 800%? And have asthma, heart disease, etc etc - all diseases blamed on smoking. Smoking is no good for you definitely - but there is NO risk from second-hand smoking and everyone knows it!!!

And Danny, what do you think gives you the right to wish lung cancer on ANYBODY? I just lost a hell of a lot of respect for you.

Oh and RV, Last time I heard, smoking-related diseases cost the NHS £1.7 billon and cigarette tax brought in around £7.5 billion. It's the same people who want smoking banned that are being treated in hospitals FREE OF CHARGE.
