First of all, a young woman dying because of second hand smoke is in fact a shame. But more than that, it's horrible. Do you know that 63,000 people die from second hand smoking related deaths each year?
I understand that you're upset about your right to smoke being taken away, but it's the government's job to provide and tend to the safety and well being of Americans, and so many people being killed from the 6,000 chemicals in second hand smoke, you can understand their reasoning.
And you make it seem like she didn't care whether she was in a smoky bar with her asthma. Of course she did, but for some people that's the only way they can make a living. Regardless of her asthmatic condition, the smoke she was exposed to had a huge effect on her health.
If you want to have a smoke, do it in the privacy of your own home, that's your choice. There's no law against that.
