I keep wondering how old do I have to  become before
I start having problems... problems that haven't happened
yet but will, according to you.

I wonder how many of those people you see coughing smoked
or allowed themselves to be exposed to second-hand smoke.

Maybe it's because there are other things in the NE that some professionals
care about that trump what you see as vital. There's always
risk in life. In my opinion  one of the dumbest things one
can do is ride a motorcycle especially without a helmet but
people do it and they enjoy it.

One more time you are assuming that everyone is affected the same
way you are and they should make a decision about their lives
based on what you say. Plenty of people just don't want to
listen.

Are you being objective? No, you're not. I'm basing my
view on my life which contrasts deeply with yours. Your
asking me to negate my own life and health stance 
just so you can get some kind of support from  me.

I know there's air pollution, Steve. But if I'm
well you are asking me to devote time I don't have
to an issue that I would  have to juggle with all the others
I have to spend precious time on.
