No argument from me on the ill effects of smoking. However, here we were discussing second-hand smoke, not first-hand. While my 'sense' is that there could be a linkage I think it is much more difficult to prove with second hand smoke as opposed to firt hand smoke.
Thanks though for pointing this out.
