This thread has gotten long. Would you be so kind as to help me find it?

I don't think I'd have enough patience to look through 52 pages for it.
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

Secondhand smoke is classified as a "known human carcinogen" (cancer-causing agent) by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization.

Where was it proven to cause death?

Other kinds of smoke do not include: cadmium, tar, toluene, arsenic, acetone, phenol, ammonia, etc. And most importantly, it does not have nicotine.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that, "There is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure. Even brief exposure can be dangerous."
And...
Secondhand smoke exposure causes heart disease and lung cancer in nonsmoking adults.
Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or work increase their heart disease risk by 25–30% and their lung cancer risk by 20–30%.
Breathing secondhand smoke has immediate harmful effects on the cardiovascular system that can increase the risk of heart attack. People who already have heart disease are at especially high risk.

So no actual deaths?

Secondhand smoke can be harmful in many ways. In the United States alone, each year it is responsible for:
- an estimated 35,000 deaths from heart disease in people who live with smokers but are not current smokers
- about 3,400 lung cancer deaths in nonsmoking adults
