It's one thing if it bothers you, or irritates your asthma, or you don't like the smell. But it most definitely does not cause any health issues, unless you are the one smoking the cigarette.

Am I wrong to read that sentence as "asthma isn't a health issue"? Because if I am, I'll apologise for thinking her a moronic twit.

I stand corrected, then.

And I want to generally apologize for my comment up there. Upon re-reading, it sounds very condescending, and I certainly didn't mean it in such a manner.

It's a touchy issue, since for so long people insisted that smoking didn't have any negative health effects - and that is incredibly wrong. Smoking is very bad for the smoker. I generally figure that a person of normal health in the US can best increase their life expectancy by doing the following three things: always wearing their seat belt when in a moving vehicle, not smoking, not being sedentary/getting regular moderate exercise.I do recognize that smoking itself is incredibly dangerous. I've just seen too many people freak out over other people's smoking in annoying and unjustifiable ways.
