Not a single case of cancer from secondhand smoke? Are you sane at all? No? Didn't think so...
I don't have numbers offhand of course but the case for 'secondhand smoke isn't dangerous' is, I'm pretty sure, just about as strong as the case that 'cigarettes don't kill you'.
Ie its a lie made up by cigarette manufacturers to sell more product.
No, it absolutely insane to say that...
Oh, and you're in for quite a surprise if you think that it actually takes 20 years of 2 packs a day to get cancer from smoking. I know i've seen studies that show that the very first time you smoke one there's immediate harm to your health... and plenty of people get cancer from smoking far less for not nearly that long. No, both of your assertions are absolutely outrageous.
