"For me, people used to be in two categories — smokers and nonsmokers.
The first group could light up
whenever and wherever — work, church, social gatherings, on public transportation, restaurants, even hospitals. The rest of us suffered in silence with sore throats, burning eyes, headaches, asthma, nausea. It took 40 years of excavating the truth from under corporate propaganda to reveal the health toll of secondhand (even thirdhand) exposure to tobacco smoke — cancers, asthma, dementia and more. Children, with still- developing bodies, were especially vulnerable.  Now people are divided into two other categories — scented and unscented."
