>What I'm saying is the two aren't without risk, but one is a clearly more sensible option than the other (you brought up the example of cars).
And. You say smoking has some great downsides. Have you spent some time in a traffic jam or red signal, where you are surrounded by exhaust from other vehicles. In some countries you might have a truck or bus with your exhaust directly in your face or open window....
