The summary of study implies causation. It is the biased propaganda of zealots. And just like most of their "ETS" studies, it is purposefully misinterpreted nonscience.

The antismoking militants have done great damage to property rights and freedom, and they have enabled government to encroach on our freedom. Now they seek to raise funds for the state through eventual parental fines and worse. Government has built on this permission to metastisize into other areas of safety statism. Zealots have spread their cancer more effictively than tobacco ever could. They must be stopped.

As Nazi prison camp victim Jewish psychiatrist Vicktor Frankel said so accurately:

THERE IS
NO
FREEDOM
WITHOUT
RESPONSIBILITY!

Wishing it otherwise won't change that fact.

Pretending it's otherwise doesn't change that fact.

Pontificating as though it's otherwise doesn't change that fact.

Libertarians love to talk about the freedom to do whatever as long as it doesn't hurt someone else.

The overwhelming majority of the evidence demonstrates that second hand smoke is destructive. One can argue about the degree and the implications but that it is destructive is born out by an abundance of evidence.

Many justify ignoring the evidence.

I don't consider selfishness a good justification for anything. It's certainly not a good justification for freedom. The only good, solid, lasting, effective, true foundation for freedom, other than God, is personal RESPONSIBILITY.

There is NO GROUNDS from any solid research--particularly repeated research--which justifies any assumption that there is NO 0.00000% causation between second hand smoke and destructiveness in children's health and lives.

Pretending otherwise does NOT make it so.

The science is solid. The implications are debatable. I see no evidence of purposeful misinterpretation except by the smokers on this thread.
