Second hand smoke and second hand noise.

Society has finally realized the hazards of second hand cigarette smoke. Many areas of the country have laws restricting smoking in areas where the by-products may affect others.

In the area of noise pollution we have a long way to go. Quiet areas are increasingly hard to come by. We are adversely affected on our own property and even inside our homes. Public awareness needs to be raised by various media campaigns. Cigarette manufacturers air anti-smoking ads as a result of lawsuit settlements. ATV, motorcycle and boom sound manufacturers would do the same if motivated by class action suits.
