Can second hand smoke possibly kill anyone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You bet: The claim of 50, 000 deaths per year in the usa from a few years back wasn't true, but as an autopsy pathologist i've had a couple of cases in which a non-smoking wife of a constantly-stogie-puffing husband died of a classic smoker's cancer. I believe it's cause and effect. About 1000 kids die of asthma yearly and most live in smoke-filled homes. I wish these are prosecuted as homicides.
