Doesn't matter where the drinking occurs, bub. Same situation. OK. So next time I want to throw a loud party, I'll throw it in your house at 2 AM. After all where something occurs doesn't matter according to you. Cancer is a real long-term risk of second-hand smoke. Long term, not almost immediate, and the risk from one exposure or a few exposures to second hand smoke is not great. >3 - Drinking and driving exposes the general public to a >risk, and furthermore to a risk they are unaware of. Drinking >in a bar where smoking is known to occur doesn't impose a >risk on anyone except people who willingly assume it. See point 2. Your response to point two is irrelevant, to the third point. Your response to the 2nd point was about what the risk is. The third point is the fact that the risk only applies to those who willingly assume it. If you go to someone else's property, when you know there will likely be smoking at that location, then you are creating the risk to yourself, just as if you run out on the highway you are creating the risk. If you jump out from behind a bush to just in front of my car and I hit you, its not my fault.
