Yes, I do know that long term use of cigarettes can have serious health consequences for the smoker...that's why I gave them up over 30 years ago. I'm less sure that the accuracy of the assertion about second hand smoke, especially outdoors, is quite that certain.

In either case, as long as cigarettes are legal products, adults should have unfettered access to them.

True, but unfortunately, one doesn't always know s/he has chosen idiots until something idiotic is done.
