Use This “Open Thread ” to Comment on Any Topic Relevant to Secondhand Smoke

Royale, one of the regular participants here at Secondhand Smoke, suggested in a comment that I create a place for people to ask questions, bring up old issues, or generally comment beyond the scope of the individual posts that I place on the site. I think this is a splendid idea—sort of the blog equivalent to “open phones” segments on talk radio.

So, anyone and everyone: Please consider this an open thread. Feel free to raise any bioethical issue you want, so long as it is relevant to what we discuss here at Secondhand Smoke. If it is a success, I will make “Open Thread” a regular feature.

Thanks for the idea, Royale! Let’s see what is on people’s minds.
