What would people who suffer these diseases from secondhand smoke do? Say, someone who developed (insert disease) after a childhood of living with smoking parents who were total asses about it (smoking in the house, refusing to quit when their kid was sick, etc). Would the person then be stuck when they grew up either paying out of pocket or dying? Or would there be legal recourse to force the jerkass parents to pay? What if the jerkass parents didn't have any money or assets? I dunno, it just seems like you should separate cases of people who smoke personally and people who were subjected to others' smoke.
