When Crichton says 2nd hand smoke DOES NOT cause cancer, he is right. However, he still wants to outlaw people who do smoke. I fail to see the logic in this. Because he, in his own words “don’t like it when people smoke”, he’d take part in making it ILLIGAL to smoke certain areas. Maybe he doesn’t like smoke after a meal, but some people do. Why are his likes and dislikes better than others making it morally acceptable for him to makes law to outlaw smokers. Let it be said that I am a NONSMOKER.
to smoke IN certain areas lul
statistical significance is not the issue here, because the question of whether or not there is any effect at all has no value in this context.
If direct smoking increases cancer risk, then why wouldnt breathing in second hand smoke?
It is not a question of causality but of quantity.
How much smoke exposure is bad for you?
How much does it increase your risk?
How much should your own personal freedom be compromised in the interest of public good or public taste?
The simple rule of thumb is that more smoke exposure is worse for you, and that a little is worse than none at all.
The fact that the effects of second hand smoke fail to show up in a statistical analysis testifies to the petty insignificance of those effects. But I agree that thes junk science methods are a bad precedent, which is also used with other political issues like global warming and domestic violence, where hysteria prevails over facts.
Good WORK Lord Monckton.
I hope that you will noted and honoured as you should be.
Please continue until this matter of Global Warming is sealed to never return again.
So that we can all get back to focusing on local pollution – were we actually can effect change to our local environment, without needing a global carbon tax to do it.
Cheers to you Monckton
Tell that to the woman who DIED of irreverable LUNG CANCER due to working in a SECOND HAND SMOKE establishment at the Newport Restaurant in Ottawa, Canada, or to those who are constantly bombarded by second hand smoke and develop a whole shit load host of respiratory illnesses, mental disturbances, acute hyper sensitivity reactions. I tried smoking a bit to try to alleviate the second smoke discomfort, which didn’t help!
Had developed acute bronchitis which lasted two weeks and had to quit!
CIGARETTE SMOKE IS (candid) LEGAL GENOCIDE! It does absolutely no one any good, robs the body completely of any nutritional intake. THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ANYONE HOOKED IS OBVIOUSLY THE TURBO BOOSTED NICOTINE ADDITIVES PUT IN THE TOBACCO VIRTUALLY MAKING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO QUIT PERMANENTLY!
TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER CRAP THAT’S FOUND IN CIGARETTE TOBACCO SUCH AS HYDROGEN CYANIDE!
That is more misinformation put out by the anti-smoking activist. And the judge did not rule that there was no danger from secondhand smoke. He ruled that the EPA could not use a cohort study of cherry picked data to create regulations. And the decision was never overturned as far as I know. But if you have a link to the appeal which overturned the original ruling I would like to know. But considering your facts are wrong about the judge and the case I doubt you have a link.
Big Tobacco hand picked the Middle District in North Carolina as the legal venue in which to file their bogus suit, precisely because they knew they might find some tobacco-friendly judge willing to declare the earth is flat despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Its all part of their discredit the science playbook this is just the latest play in a very old game.
On August 20, 1995 , the Associated Press reported that Judge Osteen once worked for tobacco growers as a lobbyist, and raised the issue of his impartiality in this suit.
Dr. William Farone, former Director of Applied Research for Philip Morris from 1976 to 1984 where he supervised five divisions and a staff of approximately 150 scientists, has issued a statement in which he asserts that Philip Morris has long known of the toxic nature of secondhand smoke and has intentionally kept that information from the public. (July 13, 1998 statement by William A. Farone, Ph.D.)
This war on nonsmokers rights began in 1978 when a study commissioned by the Tobacco Institute found that the information about how smoke affects the health of nonsmokers is “this most dangerous development to the viability of the tobacco industry that has yet occurred.” (1978 Roper Organization poll.)
The truth will set you free, and damn the tobacco companies.
Did you know the tobacco companies were found to be guilty of racketering a year or so ago?
Judge Osteen did not invalidate the EPA’s extensive findings regarding secondhand smoke and respiratory disorders other than lung cancer. The EPA’s findings, thus, remained intact regarding secondhand smoke and its effects on
· Acute respiratory illnesses in children;
· Acute and chronic middle ear diseases;
· Cough, phlegm and wheezing;
· Asthma;
· Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS);
· Lung function in children; and
· Respiratory symptoms and lung function in adults.3
Smokers should know that “light” cigarettes are another lie from the tobacco companies. They are actually more dangerous because they cause smokers to smoke their cigs like pot smokers – they inhale more deeply and hold the smoke in their lungs longer to extract the nicotine “hit” that they need to feel normal. Nicotine is the drug that smokers must have to feel normal.
Smoking doesn’t make you calm, it releaves the stress of not having enough of the drug in your body.
Dr. William Farone, former Director of Applied Research for Philip Morris from 1976 to 1984 where he supervised five divisions and a staff of approximately 150 scientists, has issued a statement in which he asserts that Philip Morris has long known of the toxic nature of secondhand smoke and has intentionally kept that information from the public. (July 13, 1998 statement by William A. Farone, Ph.D.)
The EPA cherry picked the data sets they included in their cohort study. Only using the ones that showed some effect and ignoring the ones that showed no effect or even some beneficial effects. And Judge Osteen had found in favor of anti-tobacco lobby in many cases prior to this one.
Now years later the number of kids with asthma has doubled while smoking rates are drastically down. That fact alone makes the EPA study blaming smoking for increased Asthma via second hand smoke sketchy.
So what caffeine is a drug that coffee drinkers need to feel normal. Going to ban coffee and colas next? Then Alcohol, then salt, then fat….
In small doses nicotine acts as a chelation agent removing heavy metals? And why it is thought that smokers have the lowest rate of of Parkinsons. Not that I endorse smoking but there is vaporizing which poses zero threat. Prohibition will only lead to violence on a massive scale.
You mean Dr. William Farone who was fired in 1984. Again FIRED can you say disgruntled employee.
