I saw a show by Penn & Teller called Bullsh*t. They talked about how there's no proof about 2nd hand smoke killing people, how the study that's always waved around was challenged in court (and found to be biased). I thought it was absolutely fascinating, because I had been suckered in hook-line-and-sinker on this issue. Even then, though, I'd always thought smoking was bad for your health, and everyone who started knew it going in. Anyway, I realize Penn & Teller are a couple of raging liberals, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. They after went after Fung-shui, magnet, and chairopractic scam artists in that episode. I saw it at my mother-in-law's - we don't have showtime (too liberal a dose of liberalism).

If you would like to look over the abstracts of some studies yourself I'd be more than happy to e-mail you, or post them here, and let you look them over.
Penn & Teller were right, at least on that point.
