Roy Castle never smoked in his life, but spent most of his working life in smoky clubs and cabaret places. He died of lung cancer....the kind of cancer that smokers get. His lung cancer was attributed to passive smoking.
I think the current ban on smoking in public places, is so that the general public are not exposed to the passive smoke.....so I am sure there must be some scientific evidence to link passive smoking with lung cancer....and the survival rates for lung cancer sufferers are not great.
We make our own choices in life. I do not(nor ever have) smoked, but my father did and my husband did for a15 years of our marriage........I was glad when he gave it up......but I still consider myself to be at risk because of my previous exposure to passive smoke.
Oh, and I do not have a
'holier than thou' attitude. It is just my point of view, as you say, you are adult enough to choose your own vices(if you want to call them that).
