Many people find tobacco smoke annoying, smelly, and just plain dirty and unpleasant.
Some smokers themselves agree. But today's smoking restrictions, not to mention the attack on smokers and extortion of tobacco companies, could not have been engineered simply on the grounds that tobacco smoke is unpleasant. We needed another reason. A carcinogen causing death and illness for tens of thousands of nonsmokers. The major news media, along with anti-tobacco zealots, convinced us of the wisdom of the EPA report.
