If you are a smoker or if you are regularly subjected to "passive" cigarette smoke, I would strongly urge you to read a posting at ABC Science entitled, "Cigarettes as radioactive as x-rays." It turns out that two packs of cigarettes contain the same level of radiation as a chest x-ray. And so-called "passive" smoke is toxic as well. Smokers, if you must smoke, please, do it where others aren't subjected to it. Please. But, it would be best all the way around if you would stop smoking entirely.
