Are Smokers Really Villains?
Annually secondhand smokers are also responsible for 150,000 new cases of pneumonia and bronchitis in children less than 18 months. It also causes cerebral palsy, lower birth weights and learning disabilities. Each year thousands of innocent children suffer.
They must struggle for the remainder of their lives, because someone else had the right to smoke near them at the playground or grocery store.
Smoking in another room is also not acceptable. Not only does this fail to remove the threat, it does nothing to protect staff forced to enter the smoking room. Smoking outdoors is a safe alternative, but ask any asthmatic who has walked through a cloud of tobacco smoke if being outside stops asthma from being triggered.
Stanford University researchers released a study confirming the dangers of secondhand smoke outdoors according to “Study Confirms Dangers of Secondhand Tobacco Smoke Outdoors”.
LungChicago.org stated: “Society also pays an immeasurable price each time a school has to call a parent and say their child was sent to the emergency room for an asthma attack, each time an uncle misses a bike ride with his niece due to his reduced lung capacity, each time someone learns that their spouse has a late stage of lung cancer and every phone call from a sister saying dad died last night from a heart attack.”
Candidates who protect the individual freedom of choice and the freedom to enter public without being menaced by villains with a mistaken understanding of the freedom of choice will be supported generally. The thousands impacted by secondhand smoke and Americans who strive to care for the body, will elect leaders who afford them the right to life.
