I think we all know what Ted is smoking and it isn't tobacco....


   For every study done to say second hand smoke is harmful there is one saying there is no correlation to seconhand smoke and medical ailments, or there is no health risk. 


   If he would like to complain about poor air quality via smoke, perhaps he should lobby his local governments to impose a environmental air quality fee for his local coal-fired power plant. One coal-fired power plant belches out more tons of carcinogens into our air than all the smokers combined. Or perhaps, they should do away with cars that emit noxious exhaust.. the exhaust from cars is as, or more harmful for you to inhale than the air of any bar filled with cigarette/cigar smoke. 


    No... it's far simpler for him to demonize smoking because it is already linked to carcinogenic compounds that have been suspected of causeing cancer(again there is no hard evidence to make a definite link between smoking and cancer). Having said that i must say there is no safe cigarette and smoking does indeed cause emphysema. Plain and simple... if you're susceptable to getting cancer, you are just as likely to get it from smoking as you are to living in an area which has a coal-fired power plant, or in a dense city where air can stagnate, and vehicle exhaust can linger.
