Someone has given you some very incorrect information, and you must also be in deep denial. Both primary and second-hand cigarette smoke are very dangerous, I have asthma and a tendency toward bronchitis and pneumonia because I grew up in the house with a smoking mom. And she has emphysema today. Smoking does indeed harm, whether you're the smoker or not. This has been proven time and again. And I won't let harmful misinformation stand here without challenging it. Educate yourself. And if you choose to keep smoking, so be it. That's your choice and your right, even if it's a really destructive choice. Just don't do it around others.
