Smokers Or Pollution The Questions are many? Here are just a few.
What type of job did people work at before they died from cancer? Where did people live before they died from cancer? How many animals die from cancer? Why do people get cancer? What is cancer? Can food breakdown your immune system, to cause cancer? What food does your body need to fight cancer? Can you inherit cancer? How long does it take to die from cancer?

When a free radical enters the body of a person with a healthy immune system, this could cause, itching, swelling, mucus, muscle spasms, hives rashes, and other symptoms. 5.6 million people die each year, from causes directly related to air pollution including asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, lung and heart diseases. 364 parts-per-million of carbon dioxide 188 types of pollutants and other solids daily and, we breathe fibers from car brakes, and industrial fibers that stay, in your lungs forever. Eating contaminated food products. Air pollution falls to the earth that contaminates our soil, water supply, and plants, which animals eat. Then there are household chemicals' cleaning agents, personal care products, pesticides, paints, hobby products, and solvents in the air? Have you ever smelled an exhaust pipe, been to the airport, or a parking garage? How many cigarettes would it take to get that same intake of pollutants?

Airlines shut down their ventilation system that filtered out the smoke from non-smokers, gases, disease and, perfume, this does save on fuel and, people get sick. Now days I would hate to think what one insane person could spread. With the law in effect people who smoked are now the bad guys and they should be punished to pay higher taxes to smoke. Perfume is toxic and smells bad, let's tax that, to where a bottle would cost three times more. Then the Government could start taxing cosmetics.
