Just to give you a data point. I grew up in a family that smoked in the house. I've never smoked myself.

I hope you aren't suggesting that I should be condemned for the sins of my parents if I should one day get lung cancer.

Also keep in mind that pollution is going to be a large (if not the largest) contributor to lung cancer in the future.

Please read my comment again. I in no way suggested you be condemned. What I actually suggested is that we do an economic analysis to determine how to deploy our limited healthcare resources in order to maximize net benefits.
