BLOOMINGTON -- There is no risk-free exposure to second-hand smoke, according to a recently released U.S. surgeon general's report.

"No heating/ventilation system can effectively remove toxins," McLean County Health Department Director Bob Keller told members of the County Board's Finance Committee on Tuesday in his review of the report. "The only way to prevent (the effects) is non-exposure."

Keller said the surgeon general's report showed an "overwhelming preponderance of evidence" that second-hand smoke increases a nonsmoker's risks of getting lung cancer or heart disease by about 30 percent.

We often have alerts here in the Dallas area recommending that people with respiratory problems not go out.
I am not into total banning, as I said earlier, I would rather educate and then let the market decide. But I am not into denial about secondhand smoke. It DOES do damage. Nor would I jog on one of her ozone alert days.
