Secondhand Smoke’s 10,000 Friends

To my great delight and surprise, I have learned that there are about 10,000 discreet visits to Secondhand Smoke per month, with people checking in literally from every continent except Antarctica. Better yet, since I have been keeping track, the numbers seem to be slowly, but steadily, growing. True, it ain’t the Daily Kos or Little Green Footballs—yet—but I am most pleased. Spread the word. The issues we discuss here could not be more important. And thank you all for visiting Secondhand Smoke.
