...an activity that measurably reduces the life of unwilling bystander...If you want to smoke indoors, work from home.

How are people who chose to work at an office which permits smoking unwilling bystanders?



In that the majority of all people cannot pick their job based on whether or not smoking is allowed where they work.

Unwilling may technically be the wrong word for that but it’s close enough.


You can make this argument now, but as recently as 40 years ago there wasn't such a thing as an workplace that banned smoking. You wanted to work, you inhaled smoke.


Any outdoor workplace would be completely safe from the harms of secondhand smoke.
