I'd like to add this to the fray: I'm 50 years old. While I was growing up in the 60's my parents smoked as did every one of their friends. They smoked in the house, in the car, at their work, in restaurants....everywhere. And you know what? Not ONE of us kids died from it. In fact, most of us are STILL alive and if not, the deaths had nothing to do with second hand smoke.
There are 79 million baby boomers like me. I'd bet most of us grew up in smoking households. I would think that of any demographic - we'd be perfect for a study. According to the non-smoking lobby, we should all be dead by now having been exposed to so much second-hand smoke.
God...I wish people would just stop and think every now and then instead of blindly believing everything the media wants to shove down our throats.
