Exposure to Tobacco Smoke
- Share via
I’m pleased the Environmental Protection Agency has formally declared that secondary cigarette smoke is a potent carcinogen in a class with radon, asbestos and other established cancer-causing agents (Jan. 6).
But I’m wondering, in light of this new report, if the smokers rights people will still oppose smoking bans in the workplace, public facilities and restaurants. I certainly hope not. I can’t imagine them saying people should similarly have the right to wear asbestos or spray radon gas in public places.
