San Mateo County bans smoking inside apartments, condos and townhomes

14. At the complex I work at, the smokers have to all the way outside the complex.

With all the toxins and poisons we have in the air, why is smoking the only thing anyone does anything about? I mean I was just reading up the other day that the fumes from diesel trucks are a suspected carcinogen, the evidence is conclusive and not conclusive. Or what about all the toxins in the fish that are fished off the coast in San Mateo county? There are so many man-made toxins in our environment, do they really think cigarette smoke, a whopping 18% of people smoke, is the only danger? Is that the only thing causing lung cancer?

"Lung cancer accounts for about 27% of all cancer deaths and is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. " from Cancer.org

All this from 18% of the population?

I question everything. I have no issue with people who are anti-smoking, however, there seems to be a disconnect that we live in a poisoned environment with some of them and some scientists. That somehow, if we get rid of smoking, no one will get lung cancer.
