This is such a rediculous argument. Smokers (for the most part) are not running out into the park, grabbing you and holding you directly above the smoking area to take about 5,000,000 whiffs of their smoke and kill you (which would be a crime btw).
Here's some tips:
1. Don't walk through the smoking area if you don't want to breathe in the 2nd hand smoke.
2. You have the right to walk through the smoking area, but wouldn't it be a bit silly to think someone was infringing on your rights because you can't read a map or look for smoking area signs?
Now for those who smoke outside of designated areas:
1. Go back to school, learn how to read or how to make intelligent decisions based on picture/signs and quit smoking where you've been told not too.
2. Don't whine and complain when very large security guards ask you to stop smoking until you are standing in a designated smoking area (if you can't find them, refer to step 1).
3. Don't call your lawyer when security guards in step 2 throw you out of the park and tear up your tickets.
As for comparing arsenic, aesbestos, chloroform, heroin, etc to 2nd hand smoke...no comment

I mean honestly, how much 2nd hand smoke could you swallow compared to any of those substances and still live?
And really, science can't even explain everyone's systems. No one has proven death from 2nd hand smoke. I really think nicotine and tobacco helped George Burns live longer, lol... The human body is an amazing machine with a built-in filtration system.
Having said all of that I'd say this whole argument comes down to common sense. Don't go into smoking areas if you are a non-smoker and don't smoke outside of these areas if you are a smoker.
BRILLIANT! Maybe I should take on more of the world's more pressing issues like third world hunger, etc...
