Your post is utter nonsense. None of the thing you mentioned are goint to harm you. Prolonged exposure, yes, but not a single fiber of asbestos, etc.,
Try to get real.
Actually he is kind of right. Long term exposure to those things really increase your risk but all it takes is one cell mutation and bam cancer is on the way. It takes years most of the time but not always.
Ban all burning of anything then as the same "fouling" happens. Same with perfumes/colognes, y'all can keep your filthily stench to your filthy stinking self, maybe bathe more? Same with fireplaces,bbq's etc.
C'mon, let's hear what happens when you propose halting ANY burning of anything or adding smells that touches public air...
Cooking food with curry in it should be banned in all apartment buildings. And microwaving it for lunch should be banned in all workplace cafeterias.

If the problem was even 1% of severe as the tobacco-effluent issue, no doubt they should, and in some jurisdictions, they impose no-burn periods often weeks long making it illegal to burn wood in fireplaces and stoves etc., Burning trash outdoors (as was the practice for hundreds of years) has been banned for decades in most cities and towns and some counties, so you are on the right track, even if you didn't intend to me.
BTW, people don't use perfumes and colognes to hide BO, but for other purposes. Maybe 100 years ago, but not now.
Also, very few things that burn include a toxic poison, i.e. nicotine, in their smoke.
All in all, you get a D on your post, but thanks for swinging anyway.

I don't think there is any scientific evidence to support your post, but I don't think the poster even cared. He was merely ranting and throwing any BS up in the air that he could.
wish smoking got banned, or enforced heavily with steep fines in any public location outside of their house or car. that includes sidewalks, roads, beaches, trails, outside diners, gas stations etc.

All through your anti-smoking Nazi ramblings you missed the other information available. Certainly a "D" if there ever was one. Look, I'm a FORMER smoker and I don't like smelling it any more than most others BUT I also believe that smokers have rights as well. Just as many rights as those who dump on scents by the gallon, smoke dope or whatever and those who light up wood for any reason.
Here's just a couple:

The smoke billowing from your grill does smell great, but it can seep into your skin taking cancer-causing chemicals with it, scientists at the University of North Carolina discovered.
Barbecuing produces cancer-causing chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Smoke may smell good, but it's not good for you. The biggest health threat from smoke is from fine particles, also called fine particulate matter or PM2.5. These microscopic particles can get into your eyes and respiratory system, where they may cause burning eyes, runny nose, and illnesses, such as bronchitis. Fine particles can make asthma symptoms worse and trigger asthma attacks. Fine particles can also trigger heart attacks, stroke, irregular heart rhythms, and heart failure, especially in people who are already at risk for these conditions.
I bet y'all are part of the group that does the loud faux hacking cough and waves their arms like you're having some kind of spasm when you walk by a smoker who happens to be standing in one of the only places left for them to stand and smoke or, maybe one of those people who walk around with one of those surgical masks on all day like that'll save you...
Nice attempt at diversion. Smoking is still a privilege, not a right, and smokers who smoke in public and disregard others who do not want to be exposed to it are the ones who are fostering more and more restrictive regulations.
If you're truly a patriot in this country, you'll consume tobacco products, as tobacco saved us from being controlled by Great Britain. When we were trying to get the tobacco-addicted Brits out of this country, who coveted our tobacco fields, Benjamin Franklin was sent to Paris to try and get the bankers there to help fund a rebellion against the British. They demanded 5 million pounds of tobacco for collateral for the loan, as the French had become as addicted to tobacco as the British.
So there! Without tobacco, we might still be under British rule!

If just tobacco, why?
