No, no it does not. So-called 'second-hand smoke' (a genius marketing term for smoke) is no more harmful than any other smoke. It is, however, a wonderful excuse for the sort of people who like controlling other people to … control other people.
- gambiting 10y ago>>So-called 'second-hand smoke' (a genius marketing term for smoke) is no more harmful than any other smoke I've read this sentence literally a dozen times and I still don't understand how it relates to the point we made about second-hand smoke being bad - you are trying to make a point about incorrect naming, to maybe detract from the main point?. Smoke harms other people. If you smoke, you harm other people, who get in the way of your smoke. Here, is that easier to process?
- dragonwriter 10y ago> So-called 'second-hand smoke' [...] is no more harmful than any other smoke. While true (in fact, it's less harmful than first-hand cigarette smoke, which is what the "second hand" is distinguishing it from) that doesn't contradict the fact that it puts others at risk. Smoke (whether cigarette smoke or otherwise) is a fairly significant health hazard that you don't want spend lots of time exposed to.
