Second Hand Sucks

Posted by on August 10 at 8:20 AM

I just heard that Christopher Reeve’s widow, Dana Reeve was diagnosed with lung cancer, which is especially tragic news because she didn’t smoke. So how’d she get it? Word is she worked as a cocktail waitress for years….can we pass the fucking smoking ban already? Yeah it’s a bummer that there’s a rule in there about how close you can stand to a building when you smoke but I’m running out of patience. When it’s your job to be in specific bars that allow smoking—and especially when you’re a non-smoker—the idea of getting lung cancer or even anything remotely close to that is totally appalling.
