Summary
A new study published in Britain promises to add even more fuel to the fight against smoking in public. Researchers say that second-hand smoke kills about 30 people each day in England. Two of those people, the study says, die because they have been exposed to second-hand smoke on the job. "These shocking figures show, yet again, the need for a new law to end smoking in all places," a British activist said.
