Are you aware that those numbers are 100% computer generated and do not actually represent any real people?

A book that delves into this work, "The Chemistry of Environmental Tobacco Smoke: Composition and Measurement: Second Edition," is expected to be released in March. Co-writers are Jenkins, Mike Guerin and Bruce Tomkins of the Chemical and Analytical Sciences Division.

Here is a paragraph from the Oak Ridge Study.
Please note that the people assembling claims here are not afraid to post their expertise, methodology and results for perusal by anyone in the world who wishes to do so.

Please provide me with a similar summary citation by the CDC or Numbnutz Glanz to support their figures.
I would love to read it!
