Excerpts

Although the dangers of smoking have been known for decades, it is only in recent years that the threat of secondhand smoke to nonsmokers has caused such a serious controversy. Some cities have gone so far as to ban smoking in all public places, triggering adamant opposition from smokers who believe their rights are being infringed upon. This book explores all sides of the ongoing debate over the right to smoke versus the right to a smoke-free environment.
