Read the excerpt about secondhand smoke from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website.Eliminating smoking in indoor spaces fully protects nonsmokers from exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS).

Most people have adopted smokefree rules in their home. Still, exposure in the home remains a significant problem.- The home is the primary source of SHS exposure for children.- About 80 million (1 in 4) Americans live in multiunit housing and can be exposed to unwanted SHS in their homes. SHS from units or common areas where smoking occurs can seep into smokefree units.- Many who live in public housing are especially affected by SHS, including children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

In some cases, however — such as in the example of a dispute between two or more U.S. states — the Constitution grants the Supreme Court original jurisdiction, an authority that cannot be stripped by Congress.
