Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air for their children, but experts now have identified a related threat to children’s health that isn’t as easy to get rid of: third-hand smoke.

Sorry sir, this is a non-second-hand smoking restaurant.

I’m not sure where the this ludicrousness will end but outright prohibition of smoking doesn’t seem impossible. Not by the states of course, their settlements with the cigarette companies are much too lucrative. However, I don’t see why the federal government wouldn’t do it should popular opinion become strong enough. Already smokers are demonized by smokers and non-smokers to the point where one can’t publicly smoke without being accosted by a righteous person who just must let the smoker know that they disapprove. As I sit and watch this spectacle on a daily basis I can’t help but think those are the same people that led America’s previous prohibition movement. These indigents of class are not only a tacky nuisance but a serious danger to a person’s health.
