"Secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year," the American Lung Association, Secondhand Smoke Fact Sheet.

Good thing we're relinquishing our freedom in order to help 0.00001% of our population.

"Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to young children," the American Lung Association.

Well duh... So is smoking in bars banned for the protection of young lushes? If tobacco is so dangerous, make it illegal. We'll see a vivid display of prohibition-in-action.

The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse. The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision. Tobacco, beer, wine, and spirits are explicitly exempt from the Controlled Substances Act. - Wikipedia, Controlled Substances Act, Schedule I drugs
