How Can Fox Claim To Fair And Balanced

My boss smokes in the office

and what is worse, it does meetings. The window is open, I try to avvicinarmici as possible and to get away from him ... but what the hell? But in what century do you live? I'm not a bigoted, or a health-conscious. I realize that some things are irrational, I eat the flaky skin on lips for example. I also know that in some cases no need to know about the dangers of smoking, I remember when I worked at the hospital were radiation oncologist who smoked even in the bathroom, in secret (witness the cigarette butts floating in the water). Everyone knows that smoking is the leading cause of death from lung cancer, and that is the cause of many other diseases. I understand that many can not give a damn about their own health. But we know that passive smoking is harmful, and for several years now (since 2005) there is a ban smoking in public places. I remember the night before the entry into force of this law: I came home after a night at the pub with friends (just another life ...) and my clothes smelled of smoke as usual ... I said "tomorrow never this crap." Friends remember that heavy smokers were very pissed off then and there, but a few months later, they confessed that they, too, so all in all preferred that from that day were smoking less and that on balance more breathable air to the restaurant and in all other public places was more hygienic and pleasant for everyone. The results from a health point of view of the application of this law then you have already seen ( these slides are very interesting ).
So, smoking in an enclosed space, without even apologizing to his colleagues, is not only an act of rudeness and disrespect, a retrograde behavior. It makes me think of those scenes in old movies in which smoking even at the cinema.
