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.
