Xaccers.

You simply cannot compare the dangers of smoke inhalation with the levels of stress generated by music you do not like. Stress per se is not bad for you. Some levels of stress are actually good for you. Long term stress is the issue for bad health. The same with blood pressure. Standing up from a seated position increases your blood pressure for example. It's not harmful though. However inhaling smoke not only "stresses" your body but it causes your arteries to constrict almost immediately and indeed to passive smokers too. Long term it contributes to atherosclerosis which can lead to heart problems. Add to that the myriad of other diseases that I mentioned smoking causes before and you surely must see that the comparison is silly.
