A bit facile Min. Smoking- caused disease remains a major cause of death and disability in Australia,costing $billions a year.

Personally I couldn't care less if people smoke their tiny brains out. I DO care about the cost to the community in taxes,. I DO care about having to take out private health insurance because I can't get into a public hospital for non emergency treatment when I need it.

Quote:Smoking is an important risk factor for the three diseases that cause most deaths in Australia: heart disease, stroke and lung cancer. It is responsible for around 80% of all lung cancer deaths and 20% of all cancer deaths. Smoking has also been linked to cancers of the mouth, bladder, kidney, stomach and cervix, among others. Smokers are also at increased risk of having reduced lung function from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Using tobacco has been linked to a variety of other conditions, such as diabetes, peptic ulcers, some vision problems, and back pain. Smoking in pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth.

The HealthInsite topic page on Passive Smoking has links to information on the health effects of passive exposure to smoke.
