apparently and interestingly by the same ratio that smoking has declined, childhood asthma has increased. go figure that!

And if one uses the same vapid science used to claim SHS will kill anyone coming in contact with it, this just proves the total opposite.

The EPA Report on Second Hand Smoke (SHS) - The Facts (Their unfinished study was crap)

Another little known discovery in the second link (by Tigers Eye) story is that exposure to secondhand/environmental cigarette smoke had an IMMUNIZING effect on children, reducing the likelihood of pulmonary disease of all types in later life.

Part of the study itself is linked HERE, but the W.H.Org managed to get most of it dumped down the memory hole.

Funny how the only statistically significant result in a huge study by state-funded super nannies ended up disproving their very premise. No surprise that they hid it, is there?

Regarding childhood asthma, I noticed a huge jump in asthma after the removal of tetraethyl lead from gasoline, which leads me to think that whatever they replaced the lead with is a significant asthma trigger. When I went to school i had heard of asthma by the 5th grade or so, but never knew anyone with it until grade 11. Now it seems that every other kid has it. Have we made our environment TOO clean?
