Never mind the non-smoking sections or even good ventilation systems in bars, restaurants or offices. Secondhand smoke is a health hazard at any level, a new report from the U.S. surgeon general says.
The 700-page report cites "massive and conclusive scientific evidence" of the "alarming" public health threat posed by secondhand smoke and finds smoking bans are the only way to protect non-smokers.
Originally posted by U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona:
There is no risk-free level of exposure to someone else's drifting smoke. Separate smoking sections don't work.
