Dear Editor, Of course, all you dirty smokers whining about not being able to hot box your cancerous miasma in confined public spaces won't see it this way, but secondhand smoke really is bad news (see WebMD article at www.webmd.com/content/Article/115/111726.htm). Back in my bar-working days, I didn't smoke but would still hack up emphysemaesque phlegm balls after a night of bartending. This new Japanese research makes me wonder how soon I'm going to die because of you dirty smokers. Thanks for nothing, and thanks to the decent people of Austin for voting to make Downtown enjoyable. I've spent more money Downtown since the smoking ban went into effect than I think I have in seven years of living here. (And here's a hearty big middle finger to the bars that could never seem to care enough about their own employees and nonsmoking customers to install air-exchange systems ... maybe I should sue my old employers?)
