Do you really want me to keep going?
I will if you really want the sources.
Also, none of your studies appear to study young people/children. Children, because of their smaller physiology, have a cannary in a coal-mine like response compared to consenting adults.
Ok - so you tried the left wing tactic of cutting and pasting a bunch of studies you didn't read as 'proof.' I checked the abstract of the first three. Shall you read them with me?
From the first: The total number of deaths from lung cancer attributable to exposure to tobacco smoke from spouses and other sources (mainly the workplace) was derived by applying estimated age- and sex-specific rates of death from lung cancer attributable to such exposure to the population of Canadians who have never smoked; about 330 deaths from lung cancer annually are attributable to such exposure.
Second study you listed but didn't read: There is highly significant (p < 0.001) heterogeneity between estimates from 47 studies of the lung cancer risk in lifelong non-smoking women associated with each 10 cigarettes per day smoked by the husband or with whether or not the husband smokes.
Ok - here's the third one you cite but didn't read because you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Never smokers married to smokers had about a two-fold increased risk of lung cancer. Lung cancer risk in never smokers also increased with duration of exposure to a smoking spouse, but not with increasing number of cigarettes smoked per day by the spouse. Our findings are consistent with previous reports of elevated risk for lung cancer among never smokers living with a spouse who smokes cigarettes.
Done reading your spam. Three strikes and you're out. Too bad you can't make a point without cutting and pasting stuff you don't even read. Lame, very lame.
Lung cancer death rates, adjusted for other factors, were 20 percent higher among women whose husbands ever smoked during the current marriage than among those married to never-smokers (relative risk [RR] = 1.2, 95 percent confidence interval [CI] = 0.8-1.6). For never-smoking men whose wives smoked, the RR was 1.1 (CI = 0.6-1.8). Risk among women was similar or higher when the husband continued to smoke (RR = 1.2, CI = 0.8-1.8), or smoked 40 or more cigarettes per day (RR = 1.9, CI = 1.0-3.6), but did not increase with years of marriage to a smoker. Most CIs included the null. Although generally not statistically significant, these results agree with the EPA summary estimate that spousal smoking increases lung cancer risk by about 20 percent in never-smoking women.
I'm not a scientist, but why does this study (the first one I looked at) support your side? I guess 'cause it's not statistically significant, but that's hardly an affirmation of your case.
