Quote by: Technosoul  Again, the low trace amounts in tobacco smoke (which I have already domonstrate here) is not enough to worrry about, the reduction in the oxygen levels in our air and in our blood system directly effects our health and our life span. If we add the lack of oxygen due in large part to the clearing of rain forests and lumbering activities, and the paveing over of nature with parking lots and other man-made covers, along with the tons of oil based gasoline polution which is massive nowadays, we got troubles. Blaming smokers of tobacco products for all this is down right stupid. (not suggesting that debaters are stupid, just the "ideas" which motivate the anti-smoking agenda). |

According to this article, it's not trace amounts of poisons in cigarettes, and cigarettes are a pollutant to everyone, not just the smoker. I believe it. If anything the government has been too easy on cigarette manufacturers.
