I'm sorry that your son has such a bad problem. However, your son's problem is just that HIS problem. He cannot pass it on to someone else sitting a few feet away from him.
Second hand smoke does damage not only to smokers lungs, but nonsmokers lungs as well. We all know it. Just like Jeannie, I have bad allergies, and there is nothing more disgusting then having my own nose, clothes, & lungs filled with the contaminants of someone elses cigarette. I don't like having to pop an extra pill, & shower to try to contain the backlash that my body puts forth to rid itself of the effects that cigarettes have on me.
No one is telling you not to smoke, we are simply telling you not to smoke where you can pollute everyone elses lungs as well as your own.
You are perfectly free to kill yourself, it's called suicide. You are NOT allowed to take anyone else with you, that's call murder.
It becomes the goverments (OUR) business since it is OUR money that has to be used for the medical treatments needed for smokers receiving care for lung cancer who are collecting disability/welfare.
