We're debating if we should talk much about this as a lesson to our kids as my daughter has NO idea smoking caused it. We don't want the little girl to have this fact swirling around the school as she has been through enough.

Millions of people have smoked without "burning their house down". It was obviously a freak accident with a lot of punishment already inflicted. So I urge you not to use it as a "life lesson" tool at this point. Maybe latter when the shock has subsided, but not now.

Do I have to explain the second-hand smoke that was in a bowling alley for so many years before the laws began changing?
Originally Posted By Fe Maiden Remember back in the day (mostly the 1970's) when they used to run PSA's on not smoking in bed? What a simpler time, don't smoke in bed and don't litter, that's what we worried about. Now it's drugs, drinking and driving, AIDS, yikes! When I was a little kid I was obsessed with not smoking. My grandparents used to babysit me during the day when I was around 5 or 6 and I used to swipe my Nan's Pall Malls and hide them so she couldn't smoke. That used to drive her up the wall. The only time she'd use saltier language was when they'd sit in the kitchen and play Canasta. I also remember for various holidays, getting my dad and my nan gifts that would help them stop smoking, like fake cigarettes with special filters. None of which actually caused them to stop smoking. My dad smoked 3-4 packs a day always switching between Marlboro's and Salem 100's. He always knew which brand he had last. I spent years growing up where the smoke from his cigarettes would get in my face. Typically, we'd sit adjacent from each other in our living room and the ashtray would be between us. I used to tell him that I was going to grow up and become a lawyer and sue him for all the damage second hand smoke was doing to me. Man, was I ahead of my time.

Originally Posted By johnno52 I was at WDW in Oct. 05 and also noticed smokers puffing away out of the designated smoking areas. I gasp for air whenever I walk into smoke. I am not blaming the Disney smokers, but the day after I came home I came down with pneumonia. This led to further tests and found I have a rare Carcinoid lung cancer (not related to smoking). I have never smoked cigerettes in my life. Some smokers don't realize how inconsiderate they are to others who have difficulty breathing. I guess their addiction is beyond their control and understanding.
