    You're full of shit about AC posts disappearing. They DO NOT DISAPPEAR. The lowest a post can go is -1, which you should know if you've been modding.

    samzenpus posted in this very article about how nothing is regularly deleted. Only in one particular instance have comments ever been removed and that was due to legal threat for obvious copyright infringement.

    Again, you're full of shit.

    Let's say that Slashdot is liable for facilitating my uncouth comments. How exactly would that make me not liable in such a situation?

    What on earth does freedom of speech have to do with my political persuasions? For the record, I'm not a Republican. I'm not registered to any party, nor have I ever been. I think party/machine politics are bullshit.

    Health Effects in Adults

    In adults who have never smoked, secondhand smoke can cause:

            Heart disease
                    For nonsmokers, breathing secondhand smoke has immediate harmful effects on the heart and blood vessels.1,3
                    It is estimated that secondhand smoke caused nearly 34,000 heart disease deaths each year during 2005–2009 among adult nonsmokers in the United States.1
            Lung cancer1,6
                    Secondhand smoke exposure caused more than 7,300 lung cancer deaths each year during 2005–2009 among adult nonsmokers in the United States.1
            Stroke1

    Smokefree laws can reduce the risk for heart disease and lung cancer among nonsmokers.1

    Secondhand Smoke Exposure Has Decreased in Recent Years

            Measurements of cotinine show that exposure to secondhand smoke has steadily decreased in the United States over time.
                    During 1988–1991, almost 90 of every 100 (87.9%) nonsmokers had measurable levels of cotinine. 6
                    During 2007–2008, about 40 of every 100 (40.1%) nonsmokers had measurable levels of cotinine.6
                    During 2011–2012, about 25 of every 100 (25.3%) nonsmokers had measurable levels of cotinine.7

            The decrease in exposure to secondhand smoke is likely due to:7
                    The growing number of states and communities with laws that do not allow smoking in indoor areas of workplaces and public places, including restaurants, bars, and casinos
                    The growing number of households with voluntary smokefree home rules
                    Significant declines in cigarette smoking rates
                    The fact that smoking around nonsmokers has become much less socially acceptable

    Many People in the United States Are Still Exposed to Secondhand Smoke

            During 2011–2012, about 58 million nonsmokers in the United States were exposed to secondhand smoke.7
            Among children who live in homes in which no one smokes indoors, those who live in multiunit housing (for example, apartments or condos) have 45% higher cotinine levels (or almost half the amount) than children who live in single-family homes.8
            During 2011–2012, two out of every five children ages 3 to 11—including seven out of every ten Black children—in the United States were exposed to secondhand smoke regularly.7
            During 2011–2012, more than one in three (36.8%) nonsmokers who lived in rental housing were exposed to secondhand smoke.7
