Not at all.  But if you have been following him and his lies about second hand smoke, then you would understand why we are so happy to see him leaving.

If he was a firm believer in what he said about shs, he would stand tall.  But I guess he couldn't take the heat of his lies and is leaving. 

And that is just what he is!  A big liar!

None of us advocates smoking as a healthy choice in life, but there are a lot worse things adults can do with themselves.  Cigarettes are a legal commodity.  And no one can ever produce a death certificate that second hand smoke ever killed ANYONE!

If you remember back when idiot Koop was the Surgeon General and the courts put him and David Keesler on the stand about their lies about smoking, they took the fifth.  Because they couldn't tell the truth, and they took the 5th like the lying cowards they were.

Koop resigned soon after that and even went bankrupt.  I see he is making money now with his life alert on a TV ad.  But we smokers will never forget the lies he and David Keesler were spewing back in his day about cigarettes.  And since he couldn't produce the truth, he too, left with his tail between his legs.

Bizarre, isn't it?

No, because this man is the patron saint of junk science. There's not a scintilla of evidence available that proves secondhand smoke kills anything.

[AmishDude]

Well, maybe that's the motivation of the poster, but the real problem is that he was promoting the junk science of second-hand smoke.

No, because he valued political correctness above science in declaring secondhand smoke a health hazard. This is similar to the WHO study that found that seconhand smoke either had no effect or had a protective effect. They deemphasized the study because it didn't fit in with their preconceptions. And look at what the same mindset did when Ruckelshaus unilaterally banned the use of DDT against the advice of his own scientific panels: millions of people have died as a result. I don't think that millions would die from promoting the "secondhand smoke kills" myth, but the myth is used by health Nazis to ban smoking in all sorts of venues resulting in grave economic impact on restaurants and bars and certain entertainment. Such advocacy should be funded out of the pockets of the advocates, not from the public till. They don't put their own money where their mouths are, instead, they claim, "What I want you to do is SO important that YOU should pay for it."
