That is twisting the point of what I was saying. I would and have suggested that we look for evidence to see how effective the ban is going to be before implementing it. And seeing as you insist, sadly it would appear that such research on animals is common place. http://www.pcrm.org/resch/anexp/beyond/smoke2_0411.html

And yes I do think we are talking degrees. We can eat small amounts of what is not good for us with minimal adverse effects. Do we know the effect of occasional exposure to second-hand smoke? If the answer is, as is very likely, there was no significant impact on health or no increased risk to serious illness would you still support the ban? That is my point.
