It seems to me you need to get your facts in order, all you have done is present what seems to me to be your own personal opinion, while you speak of facts I have yet to see any. I have seen time and time again babies being born at low birth weights and developing asthma due to the mothers smoking while pregnant and then continuing to smoke around their children after birth. These are friends and family, no fictional characters here. I have had several family members die of cancer from smoking, you cannot say that smoking is good for you, it is a poison, a toxic mixture you put in your body, and while it may be your choice to put it in your body, it is my choice to not, and to not have my children exposed to it. I have read plenty of research on the matter, not to mention spoken with several doctors, and they all concur that smoking is bad for you, and it doesnt take a rocket scientist to then show that second hand smoke is just as bad for you, if not worse because the smoke off the tip of a cigarette is not filtered, unlike the smoke the smoker inhales. It is true that ones genetics play a major role, since one person may smoke all their life and have no problems, and another person do the same and end up with COPD, or lung cancer, but you cannot just look at a person and tell whose genetics will have problems with smoke and whose will not. Therefore you should not smoke around anybody who does not want to be around smoke, because how do you know whether or not that particular person will have health issues from the smoke or not? You cannot assume because you do not have problems, or that people you know do not have problems,that no one does. What about the rest of the world? Surely you do not know that many people? Just because no one you know has issues, how can you say that that means no one does? Where is the logic in that?
