"The Surgeon General said second hand smoke is dangerous."
Many years ago a different Surgeon General said that a certain type of breast implants were dangerous and had them banned. The company that produced these breast implants went bankrupt and ten thousand employees lost their jobs. Thousands of women sued and went through the pain and expense of having the implants removed. Each woman got about $66 from the suit and the lawyers received hundreds of millions of dollars. Years latter all studies proved that the Surgeon General had based his decision on phony science and that the original implants were safe. But at least the lawyers got their money!

And the Science (political type anyway) was settled on DDT 35 years ago when it was made taboo, and only 100 million people died as a result.

The same is true of asbestos and DDT as it is with second hand smoke and gel in implants. Lefties and their brown shirt enforcers, the personal injury lawyers, deprive us of many useful products as well as restrict our freedom.

I used to like the cameras on airliners that showed the takeoffs and landings. Seeing what the pilot was seeing was much better IMO than watching ground or buildings whiz by. They were removed when some lawyers got extra millions for a crash by saying how horrible it must have been for the passengers to see what was going on.

Thanks a lot you wretched parasites!

I have it!!! We need to make phoney science illegal. Yeh, that's it. /sarc

Seriously, there has got to be a way of fighting this propaganda. Just the other night, I saw a PSA (public service announcement) claiming that we all, every single one of us, are responsible for global warming. And global warming is real and it will destroy our planet..SOON!!!
They are using our very own tax monies against us and it seems we cannot stop them.

Claire!!! Is it time yet?

In 1998 The World Health Organization toted up the results of a ten year multicountry study on second-hand smoke and cancer. For both the workplace and the home, it found that there was no statistical connection between the two. No evidence that secondhand smoke raises the risk of cancer. WHO published an initial summary then denied it, and has buried the report itself. This is not an urban legend. See the article at: http://www.reason.com/news/show/28274.html
