| Anybody out there have some doozies? Add 'em to the list. We've all heard about the nuts that have been found dead after playing Starcraft for days on end without eating, drinking, or sleeping. |

Yeah middle aged ajoshis with restless leg syndrome (boing boing boing knee bounce at a sewing machine rate of speed. Apparently it's called 'restless leg syndrome' and can be cured by, among other things, detox (as from a herbal kit from the health food store)) who spit in a paper cup, drop cigarette ash into (same paper cup). And when they spit they look into the paper cup like, 'bombs away' and 'that's MY spit/getting quite a hoard!', right on target. Then shout to their buddy some ways away on a computer playing the same game and their partner or opponent or whatever, ASSAHHHH! They lean WAY back in the office chairs like 'limbo limbo limbo'.

Yeah, I was in a PC bang in Seoul and I saw a young man had brought a baby in a carriage inside. Immediately I thought "What an idiot! People are chain smoking in here and you bring an infant." I often heard the baby crying too - maybe in protest to the smoke.
I regret a bit not saying something to the guy in charge of the place, but I figured, it's their choice. The worker could have told him "No infants in the PC bang!"
Korean's attitudes about smoking is one area that Korea is far behind other industrialized countries. |

I disagree, I think they're far ahead
Get over it, it's just cigarette smoke, and it takes a hell of a lot of it to get anything second hand
Do you prefer cigarette smoke smell, or body odor and puke smell? |

Ahead of who then? Let's read your opinions.
Don't be long on rhetoric and short on specifics.... |

A baby has a developing brain and other organs so exposing a baby to second hand smoke would not be wise.
I guess you're not a father because you would surely not write such things if you were. |

Using PC bangs in India...not recommended.
Sticky afterjuice on all the keyboards and dribbling down the desk (no joke).
Evidently, people come in 'after hours' to watch porn. |

What is normal?
I would rather smell piss/sit/puke than ciggie smoke. But, that's why
I avoid places that have those in prevalence.
I also believe people should do whatever they want to do.
I know, it's a baby. What are you going to do with a country
that is so 'far ahead'? |

"for the children! for the children!"
find a new line
exactly how does smoke matter to a child's brain? it doesn't
on another note, why in the hell would a child be at a bar smoking?
I've seen the damage helicopter parenting like yours does to a person over their lifetime. So don't go lecturing me about your morality crusade. |

I vowed not to return to any PC Bangs after I ran into one of my students there. He was slouched in the chair, chip crumbs all over him as he was munching on his third bag of chips, cans of soda around him, struggling to breathe while playing some game.
Pretty depressing. |

My comp. was broken and I had to send off an email to my dad. I was in a
middle seat. 2 girls sat on both side of me, so they had to call each other and talk on their phones.
the baby story was sick, but this one was moronic. |

Health Effects of Secondhand Smoke Exposure in Children
Now let�s turn to the special health risks that secondhand smoke poses to children. Because their bodies are still developing, infants and children are especially vulnerable to the poisons in secondhand smoke.
Respiratory Infections
Secondhand smoke is a cause of respiratory conditions in children-we�ve known that since our study of second hand smoke effects began in 1986. However, after further research and analysis, we have found that the consequences of smoke on a child�s respiratory system are more severe than originally thought. Acute respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, respiratory symptoms such as cough, phlegm, wheezing, and breathlessness, more frequent and severe asthma attacks, slowing of lung growth, and ear infections have all been proven to be results of exposure to secondhand smoke in children.
SIDS
In an important new finding, we have determined that secondhand smoke is a cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Infants who die from SIDS tend to have higher concentration of nicotine in their lungs and higher levels of cotinine (a biological marker for secondhand smoke exposure) than infants who die from other causes. We have also found that infants who are exposed to secondhand smoke after birth are also at increased risk of dying of SIDS.
In addition, babies of nonsmoking women who are exposed to secondhand smoke during pregnancy are at risk for a small reduction in birth weight. Chemicals in secondhand smoke appear to affect the brain in ways that interfere with its regulation of infants� breathing.
There is No Risk-Free Level of Exposure to Secondhand Smoke
We know that secondhand smoke harms people�s health, but many people assume that exposure to secondhand smoke in small doses does not do any significant damage to one�s health. However, science has proven that there is NO risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Let me say that again: there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.
Breathing secondhand smoke for even a short time can damage cells and set the cancer process in motion. Brief exposure can have immediate harmful effects on blood and blood vessels, potentially increasing the risk of a heart attack. Secondhand smoke exposure can quickly irritate the lungs, or trigger an asthma attack. For some people, these rapid effects can be life-threatening. People who already have heart disease or respiratory conditions are at especially high risk. |
