@ Milti and Bubbles,I believe the same goes for alcohol consumption as well. A filthy discusting habit which kills the users and other innocent people around them and ruins many families.
kafenes - drinking is ok, in moderation of course. Smoking on the other hand is foul, disgusting and harms others. Drinking a pint of beer doesn't effect other people
but smoking one cigarette can harm people in the same room......which is not on
You can produce scientific proof that second-hand smoking is harmful I presume...? I look forward to reading the scientific papers you link to...
So, you saying that breathing 2nd hand smoke is not bad for you? It's certainly not good for youl, and can't be....really cant be bothered to look for scientific papers but feel free to prove me wrong

You obviously misunderstood my last statement…
When I asked for
scientific proof that second-hand smoke was harmful to your health I was looking for
proven scientific fact and research… not your opinion or that of Roy Castle…
You made the statement that ‘
smoking one cigarette can harm people in the same room’. I don’t think it is unreasonable for you to provide the scientific proof behind that statement…
Do you...?
Ok.....

1) When non-smokers are exposed to secondhand smoke it is called involuntary smoking or passive smoking. Non-smokers who breathe in secondhand smoke take in nicotine and other toxic chemicals just like smokers do. The more secondhand smoke you are exposed to, the higher the level of these harmful chemicals in your body.
That is obvious there are more health risks when breathing in more 2nd hand smoke.
2)
Secondhand smoke causes cancer
Secondhand smoke is classified as a "known human carcinogen" (cancer-causing agent) by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization.
3)Secondhand smoke can cause harm in many ways. In the United States alone, each year it is responsible for:
-
an estimated 46,000 deaths from heart disease in non-smokers who live with smokers - about 3,400 lung cancer deaths in non-smoking adults
- other breathing problems in non-smokers, including coughing, mucus, chest discomfort, and reduced lung function
- 150,000 to 300,000 lung infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis) in children younger than 18 months of age, which result in 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations annually
- increases in the number and severity of asthma attacks in about 200,000 to 1 million children who have asthma
- more than 750,000 middle ear infections in children
Enough said I think......
i am sure the wedding venues wouldn't give a damn anyway...aswell as night clubs, buzukia, this is impossible.
