I have to say both my parent's smoked around me and my sister growing up.

Neither of us chose to smoke. To be honest I have been sick maybe four times in my life. Very lucky I guess. My physical-s have all been of a normal 24 year old. My sister 28 is the same way and yes I am thankful.

I can't say either of us were affected at all. That is not to say what you are saying is not true. It probably is. I am sure it varies from house to house including personal gene structures. Smoking is unhealthy but let's not stretch it. I know people who smoked their whole life who never had cancer or problems. It varies as I said.

Let's try to be careful here and not be so high and mighty. None of us are perfect.

I am saying when a store owner can not choose to make his place smoke or smoke free there is a problem. No one has to visit or work there. That is not freedom. Smoking in a food joint today and next thing you won't be able to smoke in public... anywhere. That is where me as a non-smoker get's in marches with smokers. I won't live in a place where the only freedom you have is not offend certain people.
