Hasn't it been shown that the dangers of typical 2nd hand smoke is mostly a myth? The studies that showed the increased risk of lung cancer due to 2nd hand smoke were of people who lived with heavy smokers indoors for years and years, so they were constantly exposed to high levels of indoor smoke. Yet somehow the anti smoking hysteria applied this to typical outdoor 2nd hand smoke situations which is totally unfounded.
