Really?
When was the last time you had to endure someone smoking inside an elevator? or in a regular supermarket?
Also, have you not kept up to date with the new gadgets, the e-cigs, that have been helping tons of people stop smoking and have no second-hand smoke related issues, as the "smoke" is only water vapor?
What about cars?... it seems there are some 35,000 deaths from car accidents every year in the US and who knows how many lives destroyed due to crippling ... and even more unknown, how many more due to the contribution of driving to an unhealthy lifestyle.
No one is the least concerned about those... NO ONE!!
But choking... yeah... Billions of $US are poured into choking prevention every year, while those other fields go penniless.
About the same amount that goes into weapons purchases and "defense".
But for healthcare?.... nah, brah, those losers can die!
