In my opinion, yes! People have a tendency to squeal about second-hand smoke when they don't even begin to consider all the chemicals and carcinogens we are exposed to on a daily basis through food, beverages, tap water, household chemicals, and pollutants in the air. There are many more dangerous, man-made chemicals in the food you are eating than what is in cigarette smoke.

Consider this: Why have skin-cancer rates soared dramatically since the introduction of sunscreen? Perhaps the chemicals in the sunscreen are actually causing more cancers than it is preventing.

This is just my opinion, of course. They already tax cigarettes and alcohol to the moon because they are considered "bad" habits by society. Yet they so freely fill us up with chemicals and carcinogens in our food, and neglect to tell us exactly what's in that cheap, fast-food burger we're eating.
