I am curious as to how much damage second hand smoke causes to others in an outdoor environment. This would seemingly be the only basis for the brainwashed kneejerk and bigoted mentality of the masses. Yeah, from the public heath conspiracy. Unlike vaccines, which are backed up by facts, the anti-smoking campaign is blatantly and admittedly emotional. Yes it harms. Yes it causes cancer. Yes, lying or misrepresenting that smoking is more evil than Hitler will likely save lives. But what about truth? Does that have no merit?
People smoke because they want to. 90+ percent of the time, they are only harming themselves, and not as much as the NIH and CDC would like you to believe. Just look at their massive advertising campaigns against smoking. “smoking-related-diseases” is code word for “I’m going to make smoking sound 50 times more unhealthy than it actually is.
Dont get me wrong. Smoking is bad. Heavy smoking causes cancer in nearly 1/10 smokers. It may exacerbate heart disease. It often causes breathing discomfort. But get off your high horses people. It is not Hitler.
