I was just kidding. But seriously, what is it then you are doing?

How much of that remains in second-hand smoke? What is the dose delivered by second-hand smoke? The difference in what gets delivered directly to the lungs of a smoker, and then what he filters out before he exhales, and it get further diluted in the room air all make me think that the harm in second-hand smoke is orders of magnatude less than that delivered to the smoker. I don't like second-hand smoke; it irritates my nose, and m,akes me sneeze. That does not equate to causing me health harm. I just want to know if there are legitimate studies that have passed peer review that indicate health risks from second-hand smoke.

You seem to be dissenting with my ideas. You are giving me the lable " leftist ", and disagreeing with anyting you think is " left " One political party is not always right while the other is wrong, that is statistically impossible. Here in my town it was people you would consider " right wing " that spearheaded the anti public smoking campaigns. ( ie, church, business ) Years ago I chose not to smoke around people that did not care for it. I dont even smoke in my own house because of the smell. Think about the two quotes I offered earlier for a while. Take them out to their ultimate ends. I think that you will find they are not as limited as you now believe. Nor is either one rooted in any political leaning.

Perhaps I am a bit clumbsy in expressing myself. My basic thought was to encourage everyone to continue in the spirit of patriotic dissent. Always be suspicious of the government. Never rest simply becasue "your" party is in power. A valuable lesson was displayed in our recent past. The people elected a nominal republican/ quasi-conservative and his party to majority power. The party refused to buck their President when he spent wildly. The President refused to buck the party when THEY spent wildly. Hold people accountable, and those elected officials in your own party even more accountable.

We are responsible. Our government is supposed to be, of the people, by the people, and for the people. Not just whatever majority is in power at the time.

I can pull stuff out of my b**t, just like you can, LOL. Realistically though, ideas, become plans, become action. You need to start with good ideas to harvest good results. What you present here is a very, very, very bad idea, and shouldn't even be contemplated.

Yup, I used to work in a smoky office where most of my displeasure with smokers comes from. We had indoor air purifiers (those ionizing ones) and every 2 weeks or so they'd need cleaning because they were covered with a gray-yellow, ashy, dried-pus-like substance that smelled like crap.

As things are, nobody wants to hear good ideas anyways, so why waste the time on it. You oughta look into Mr B's relativity thread. Just as there is no more right or wrong, there is no good or bad ideas. I like to encourage you to think more within the dimensions of what you believe is impossible, because this is where it will be happening. PS. It's also known as "thinking outside the box".
