I'm sorry i simply can't agree it is a unique problem that merits the sort of treatment it is getting. Despite smoking supposedly being in decline for the last 25 years we are having ever higher rates of cancer. There are many things that could be causing this other then smoking but they would require time and money to properly research and analyse and while smoking is such an easy target no one is prepared to do it.

I think you are misunderstanding many of us we are not defending smoking so much as the right of an individual to choose to smoke which is totally different. We know P10 particles from exhaust fumes contribute heavily to asthma and other conditions and we need to find out exactly what other toxins our modern life is producing before we knee jerk react to one single perception.
