Re: Smoking ban leads to major drop in heart attacks

what about protection from the tobacco companies for all people, including smokers?

I don't have a problem with that. The only way you could protect the smokers is to ban Cigarettes altogether.

its the chemicals that are the problem, not the tobacco.

Do you mean the Ammonia, Arsnic, Cadmium, Carbon monoxide, Formaldahyde, Hydrogen Cyanide, Nicotine, Pesticides, Tar, N-nytrosomenes, and the rest of the 4000 Chemicals that come from Tobacco when it's smoked?

fact is that a community that bans smoking is already thinking it is dangerous which would add to the stress of being around smoke.

Must be a typo, or CZ is screwed up. You couldn't have just stated that the communities that ban smoking are as much at fault as the smoker, did you?
