I've had two grandparents die from lung cancer and one that was recently diagnosed (we think we caught it early and they got it all) so I know how serious lung cancer and smoking can be. All three smoked. One smoked for a few years but quite and hadn't smoked in 15 years when she was diagnosed with lung cancer and died only a few months after being diagnosed. I know of people that have died from lung cancer that never smoked a day in their life - got it from second-hand exposure...each cigarette has so many chemicals and carcinogens in it. With the number of people dieing from lung cancer each year, I think it's understandable why smoking is not allowed in most establishments
