U.S. EPA released a report earlier this month declaring that second-hand tobacco smoke is a Class A carcinogen, meaning the agency is convinced it causes cancer in humans. EPA says exposure to such smoke kills about 3000 Americans each year by lung cancer. The recent history of tobacco offers a lens through which we can observe how we got ourselves where we are today, not just with tobacco but with all toxic chemicals. The Surgeon General of the U.S. declared smoking cigarettes a cause of lung cancer in 1964.
