i think a lot of people are overlooking the body's ability to regenerate itself (with the exception of neurons). passive smoke won't just build up and build up inside your lungs, turning them a horrible black...because your lungs will renew themselves in time. if a smoker can have good as new lungs within 7 years of quitting, i think a passive smokers time would be much, much less. and i haven't conducted a scientific study on this, but i wouldn't be suprised if the small amount of passive smoke that a person has to deal with in their 8 hours at the restaurant, was all but dealt with by the next time they went to work. i don't know howfast the human body regenerates, but i can't see small amounts of smoking building up faster than the human lungs can keep themselves clean.
