  I have no facts or figures, only personsl experidnce. My parents both smoked heavily when I was a child. Every year I would be in bed with chronic bronchitis and sometimes pneumonia too. When I went to boarding school at the age of nine it cleared up. Except during school holidays when it would sometimes re-appear. Nowadays if I smell tobacco smoke it makes me sneeze violently. If I have to endure it for prolonged periods I stop sneezing and start coughing blood. This is because the smoke causes bloodm blisters to form in my windpipe which burst when it contracts during a coughing spasm. Not all passive smokers react in this way, I admit. But those of you who say that passive smoking is harmless must be living on a different planet. Poison yourselves by all means, but don't poison me.
