For decades a tobacco industry told us that cigarette smoking and second hand smoking were completely harmless.
First of all, the harmful effects of secondhand smoke have been wildly overstated. [0]
Beyond that, what gives you the right to put other people's health at risk?
This sort of hysterical nonsense has in recent years been engaged with far too much credit. I'm putting your health at risk when I drive a car, when I light a campfire, when I run my lawnmower, and so on and so on. Of course I have a right to put your health at risk in this way because a society in which I couldn't would be a very annoying place to live indeed.
