"Bar employees are regularly exposed to 20 times as much secondhand smoke as someone living in a home with a smoker and suffer from more lung and heart disease than those in any other occupation."

More than workers in the asbestos industry (if there still is one)? More than miners? More than traffic cops who inhale automotive pollution all day? More than people who work in poorly ventilated dry-cleaning shops? No doubt other examples could be cited.

More biased statistics, methinks.

If the smokers in California are really concerned about the welfare of bar employees, why don't they help out by patronizing the bars, but stepping outside to smoke. Is this really such a hideous inconvenience?

Sure it is. Maybe it's pouring rain, maybe you'll lose your table or your place at the bar.
