I haven't seen it at all, and am undecided about what I think about the notion. I do wish that others would be more sensative to those around them, and then I remember back to how I was and I kind of feel that I was about as sensative as I could have been under the circumstances with my adiction the way it was. I mean - I smoked through pregnancies and I don't know how much more insensative you could get than that! I think I feel a bit more compassion for the smokers now because they're just so hooked and it's so sad.
I also have problems with someone saying that she died of second hand smoke because there's absolutly no way to prove the second hand smoke thing. There's no scientific evidence at all. They can only use statistics and statistics lie. Some people believe that someone who lives with a broken heart would end up with lung cancer and heart disease, and maybe this man was just selfish and unloving and his wife would have died the same way if he smoked or not. Maybe she had a genetic pre-disposition for it. Maybe her mother and father smoked. Maybe her father was exposed to something nasty in the war.
There's people who live with smokers their entire lives and never have a side effect, but they don't make commercials out of them, or put them in pamphlets. I smoked like a fiend and have 5 kids, and none of them have any asthma or lung problems of any type showing up.
Logicly speeking, the notion that the second hand smoke is more dangerous because it's not filtered doesn't even hold water because when you smoke a cig, you take breaths that aren't through the filter the entire time and it's right there under your nose, so you still get more of the more nasty stuff than anyone else. I don't buy it.
Then there's the Allen Carr notion about the nasty commercials making smokers feel guilty, which makes them smoke, which lines the pockets of the US treasury.
I know you didn't start this thread to analyze the commercial and second hand smoke! LOL! Sorry! See what happens when you get me started? Sheesh. Carry on then.
