Yea it is.
My cousin has lung cancer and he has never in his life picked up a ciggarette or cigar. He lived with his folks for a long time and they both were heavy smokers. He also never worked in an atmosphere that would cause poisonous inhalation of chemicals that might cause it. He is dying because of this. I really believe 2nd hand smoke can kill you.

Doctors think I'm not being truthful when saying I don't smoke. Never have; but the parents did. Have had chronic bronchitis for many years as a result, and the least little smoke now has me become very dizzy. I was very sick all last summer with allergic bronchitis; it took 3 months to recover from the bout since antibiotics no longer help. Even pulled my back out this time in the process of coughing, so yeah, from my perspective -- it's become a lifelong problem.

YES I DO. 1st hand, 2nd hand, 3rd hand, all hands. I really feel that everyone who smokes should quit. It is the innocent people who are paying for the sins of the smoker. Very young children are unwilling victims to lung cancer. It's so, so very sad. So please, all you smokers out there, QUIT smoking. God loves you and so do I.

2nd hand smoke actually contains more chemicals and toxins than the smoke that the smoker inhales from the cigarette.

but you have the choice to stay away from the places that it is at. I don't smoke by the way but certain freedoms are being taken away. If you have a business it should be up to you to decide which group to cater to.

It affects the people surrounding the smoker more than the smoker himself/herself
