Looks like more Government Fraud at it's best. They never think they will be exposed. Not this time. They ran into a group that had the skills to find the truth and the guts to fight the Machine and make it known. Sometimes the truth gets out where it can be seen. Just what we need is more people to stand up for their rights with truth that can be proven. Corruption should always be exposed. Keep up the good work.

That is exactly what is causing the health problems.

Democracy was not meant to be used to subjugate or discriminate against a minority. SHS has not been proven to cause death or any disease. Personal preference should not be the deciding factor. Even the ACS can’t verify one death. Stress does cause Asthmatics to have attacks. Asthmatics have been told 24/7 that smoke causes attacks and this causes the stress that brings on their problems. Hypochondriacs also have problems.

Too bad you didn't speak p. We need more Non-smokers to stand up and be counted.

Understanding Carmona's report requires familiarity with a different report--the Federal Judicial Center's 2000 "Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, Second Edition," the official guide for judges to understand and rule on science introduced in courtrooms.
According to the manual, nearly all the studies cited in Carmona's report wouldn't pass muster in a court of law because they are observational studies, the sample sizes are too small, or the effects they show are too negligible to be reliable.

Most of the research Carmona cites was rejected by a federal judge in 1993, when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) first tried to classify secondhand smoke as a human carcinogen. The judge said EPA cherry-picked studies to support its position, misrepresented the most important findings, and failed to honor scientific standards. Carmona's report relies on the same studies and makes the same claims EPA did a decade ago.

Democracy was not meant for the majority to discriminate against a minority. It should not be used as social control.

Consider this. The 1993 EPA report which stated that SHS/ETS was the cause of 3,000 deaths a year has been vacated as a fraud by Federal Judge Osteen, a noted anti-smoking Judge, after four years of study with independent scientists and also said to be fraudulent by at least two Congressional Committees. Why do Anti-smokers continue to ignore these findings? This, in effect shows there is no reason to believe any study that uses this as a basis for studies is anything but fraud also. This would also show the Surgeon Generals report, which relied on the same cherry picked studies as it's basis, to be also a fraud and has been found to be by many. At this time there are at least four requests to investigate his report as a fraud. The supposed mountain of evidence is looking more like a fraudulent molehill.

Money moves the Health Industry. Of the possible 300+ causes of Heart Disease it is always, Smoking/SHS that is the first target. Only 18% of smokers get Heart Disease and SHS is not connected to Heart Disease any more than 300 other possible causes. There are dozens of possible causes of Lung Cancer and Smokers account for only 17%. The Drug Industry is financing the Smoking Ban agenda in order to market Smoking Cessation Products. The real possible causes are ignored. We should be looking at Diesel, gas, wood burning, industrial pollution, our drinking water, diet and chemicals plus virus and infection. Pharmaceutical Drugs are part of the problem with FDA approval. Thousands die every year from FDA approved drugs.
These will never be seen in our Major media.

I doubt that anyone can be found who hasn't been told Smoking is bad for you. The money can be put to better use than telling people something they already know.
