The smoking debate

It's certainly more conclusive than anything you've offered. Almost all 'expert' data on passive smoke effects are pretty much exclusively full of "may", "might", "could", and "has a chance of" causing all of these maladies. But when you look at reality, you never, ever hear of anyone dying from it, and you quite rarely even hear of anyone getting serious yet non-fatal problems from it, and considering how there is this crazy anti-tobacco crusade going on, I find that both hilarious and quite informative at the same time.

Smoking kills. That I will not dispute. But passive smoke is nothing but an annoyance, as non-smokers almost never expose themselves to enough smoke to cause even slight damage to themselves. Now you can deny that all you want, but until you can show large numbers of deaths that were, beyond doubt, traced to passive smoke, then your position is baseless. And no, propaganda telling me it might kill me doesn't count. Proof would be documented cases of deaths that are the exclusive result of passive smoke inhalation.

I'm quite confident you won't find any such proof. I'm almost as confident that you won't even try to find any such proof. But in this case I can't blame you, because how can you find something that doesn't exist?
