For those demanding proof that smoking is harmful to non-smokers exposed
to the smoke, I offer this micro-proof.  I will attempt to obtain the
full references and post them later this week.

>From NEWSWEEK, June 6, 1983, pp. 60-67, in an article on anti-smoking
ordinances (I didn't get the title):

o Dr. Wilbert Aronow of the Creighton University School of Medicine in
  Omaha found that "angina sufferers developed chest pains when 
  exercising in poorly ventilated smoke-filled rooms more quickly than
  do patients working out in smoke-free conditions."

o Dr. Herman Froeb of the University of California at San Diego found
  that "non-smokers exposed to second hand smoke from their coworkers
  for 20 years or more had the same degree of respiratory impairment
  that a doctor would expect to find in a 'light' smoker of 11 
  cigarettes a day."

o Dr. Claude Lenfant of the National Institutes of Health says, "For
  the first time, we have a quantitative measurement of a physical
  change" in non-smokers exposed to cigarette smoke.
