second hand smoke and asthma.
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2008-06-02 11:01.
an asthmatic dying of 'exposure to second hand smoke' is a SHAME.
exposing yourself to a KNOWN IRRITANT, and that's what second hand smoke is, no more, no less, is STUPID if you KNOW YOU ARE AN ASTHMATIC.
now, you have SEVERAL CHOICES in what to do next.
1. open a non-smoking bar. money should be easy to get seeing as since EVERYONE IN MICHIGAN thinks that non-smoking bars are a good idea except the bar owners who actually risk their money.
2. open your own venue to play, make it non-smoking, and only play there. you could probably rent a high school auditorium for a couple of hundred bucks a night, not bad for a 'big time' musician, and you can control who smokes and when.
3. you can make the committment to better health (yours) and drop the committment to taking away rights (mine).
if you need more suggestions, just ask.
