Breathing a few second-hand wisps once a week isn't going to kill anybody. It's junk science used for fear-mongering. Governments are at their worst when they legislate "for your own good." There's something almost depressing about going into a pub or bar and not smelling the faintest whiff of cigarette smoke in the air.
