Of course you do: Rock Hudson, Freddy Mercury, Arthur Ashe, Liberace, Isaac Asimov...
Now name one celebrity who died from second hand smoke. Just one.
You mention you know people with HIV who are still living (so do I: Magic Johnson, Charlie Sheen, Greg Louganis) - know anyone suffering (but still living) from cancer attributed to second-hand smoke?
You're making my point for me.
It stinks. I agree. But it's not the killer the left wants us to think it is. It's a justification for exerting their will on people. "I don't like the smell of smoke, so you can't smoke in this restaurant." Why don't you just avoid restaurants that allow smoking? "No. Not good enough. We're going to make it illegal so I don't have to smell it, but can still go to any restaurant I feel like."
I guess I'll just smoke on the patio then.
"Not so fast..."
Seriously? Not even on an
outdoor patio? The cars/trucks going by are putting worse pollutants into the air.
FWIW, I'm not a smoker. I just get annoyed at seeing one group impose their will on another, while using flimsy justification for it.
