Oh, I think most research warrants a skeptical eye.

But not a wholesale narrow, rigid, blindly biased, selfishly motivated toss in the trash of every aspect of solid research.

True. I say we put a squadron of cyclops there.

Like I said, tobacco use has been on the decline for that last 20 years, and they claim these "behavioural problems" have been on the increase for the last 20 years. The only evidence this "study" considers is the tobacco smoke, and they conclude that it is responsible for that increase. I'm not sure what your definition of "solid research" is, but this isn't lining up with mine.

That is a good perspective to have. As should everyone.

When I find some solid research that is not narrow, rigid, blindly biased, and selfishly motivated from the anti-smokers I'll be more than happy to talk with you about it.
