This is such a crock. The air we all breath is so polluted.
They just need something to blame.

Even if second hand smoke is hazardous, which it isn't, it is still more healthy than going out of the house or out of the car for a breath of fresh air.

A direct hit off of a cigarette is still safer than a lung fuel of burnt fossil fuels as you walk around town.

Unhealthy? Ha. You need a lung full of cigarette smoke just to drown out the nose burning exhaust fumes.

What is dangerous is the air in those peoples offices. The cologne and perfume and air freshener is enough to shrivel your eyeballs and blow your adnoids out.

LEXICON (LEXG) is going to make a mint over the next 10 years with the OMNIBANK stem cell access it has set up. This move was brilliant. There are more emerging stem cell
researchers then ever and this is only the beginning of what can only grow to become a massive bank of substantially larger capacity only further being used by more and more companies and the goverment. Congrats for LEXICON !

Just because the air is already polluted doesn't mean we have to make it worse by smoking.

Extensive research by the National Institute of Health clearly show a link between second-hand smoke and autism. 82% of autistic children have one or more smokers living in the home.

Second-hand smoke is also linked to mongolism

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Scorpio

You're in the mood to spend money on a favourite hobby or pastime today, so take care if you're supposed to making every penny count at the moment. The temptation to treat yourself to something that you'll undoubtedly enjoy will be too strong to resist, and the trouble is that you might not restrict yourself to just one item either. It looks like being an extravagant day!
