"My mother was a waitress in our cafe and was always around a smoky environment for many many years, and she died of lung cancer... my mother never smoked a day in her life."

"The debate is over. The science is clear. Secondhand smoke is not a mere annoyance but a serious health hazard that causes premature death and disease in children and nonsmoking adults." 
     — Surgeon General Richard Carmona, June, 2006
