Secondhand Smoke

There is no doubt that smoking any form of tobacco has been linked to some form of cancer, but what about secondhand smoke? Research has indicated that secondhand smoke affects both adults and children and can result in disease and even premature death. Currently, all 50 states have enacted some form of smoking legislation. Many places even prohibit smoking in all public spaces, including bars and restaurants. Smokers claim that it is their right to smoke and they should be able to do so anywhere. However, is it also their right to force others around them to be subjected to secondhand smoke?
