I would have thought so. If I stabbed you in various places on your body, they
will die. There's no risk, as its a certainty. Its quantifiable and provable. If you inhale second hand smoke, then there a chance you'll die, whoever, not wishing to count research into the effects of smoking, but the chances are not quantifable at all, and are quite random. People who smoke 40+ a day have been known to live into their 90s, where as some don't.
Seriously though, what can I do, invest in a bubble? Ditch every friend who smokes? Bit paranoid. Besides, my parents smoked for years so the damage is well done now.
