IIRC, if you're subjected to passive smoking you have an 11 in 10,000 chance of death from the usually quoted illnesses... and if you've never been exposed to second-hand smoke in your life, you have a 10 in 10,000 chance of death from those same illnesses.
And no, don't quote Roy Castle at me either - the autopsy showed that the cause of death couldn't possibly have been caused by passive smoking.

Lets talk real, hard facts. Real people. According to a study entitled "Estimates of deaths attributable to passive smoking among UK adults: database analysis" by Jamrozik K, published in the British Medical Journal, in 2003 alone, 617 people died as a result of passive smoking at work.
You may think that those deaths were justified to avoid the inconvienience of people going outside to smoke, but if you do, then I think that is the height of selfishness from smokers that they think it is justifiable to impose that human cost.
