The truth of the matter on second hand smoke is that it is JUNK science. The anti-tobacco crowd has twisted the results of studies to say what they want them to say, not what they actually say. Case in point. The latest study reported in the British Medical Journal. This is a 38 year study of over 100000 people. Smokers married to NS and NS married to NS. The conclusion:
" The results do not support a causal relation between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality, although they do not rule out a small effect. The association betweenexposure to environmental smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed. "
Has anyone seen the mainstream media quote this study? Of course not! Our liberties are being absorbed slowly. Ask the bar & resturant owners. If a ban is so great for business, then why didn't they all go to smoke free before the bans. Here in CT, the legislature is now proposing a ban on Trans Fats. I'm sure they will get this thru in a year or two.
Can't wait for the next thing they send down the pike for my own good!
