second hand smoke
I'm sure that everyone in this room has gone out to eat sometime in the past for a formal or special occasion. Things like these take time: you have to dress up nice, make reservations, make sure you have your best manners, etc... Now, imagine you're going out to eat an expensive restaurant for the celebration of your great-grandmother's 88th birthday. You're whole family is there: your great grandmother, you grand father, your parents, you and you're nephew. You arrive at the restaurant, take your seats, and then it hits you! You've made a terrible mistake! You might as will have made reservations for the hospital, and maybe even the cemetery by choosing this restaurant.

What it all comes down to is, to smoke, or not to smoke, that is the question? Do you want to be one of the 3,800 each year who gets lung cancer from secondhand smoke? Do you want to find out that your child has an extremely birth weight or died from sudden infant death syndrome? Do you want to have severe asthma attacks and have trouble breathing?
