Smoking harms ...

... especially if you're James Oyebola. He was shot, and critically wounded, at a London nightclub after he asked three men to stop smoking. Smoking is now against the law in public places in England and he was helping nightclub staff who were receiving no cooperation from the men when they asked them to stub out their cigarettes. Doctors are unsure if Mr Oyebola, a former UK champion boxer, will survive.
Update: Mr Oyebola did not survive the injuries sustained in the shooting. His life-support was turned off on July 27 and he died soon after.
