How could a person be upset that a neighbor is introducing arsenic and lead into their apartment?
I know that this strikes you as a strange and weird idea but how about this? If they’re so upset, they can move.
Cooking food at high temperatures, for example broiling or barbecuing meats, can lead to the formation of minute quantities of many potent carcinogens that are comparable to those found in cigarette smoke (i.e., benzopyrene).[1] Charring of food resembles coking and tobacco pyrolysis, and produces similar carcinogens. There are several carcinogenic pyrolysis products, such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, which are converted by human enzymes into epoxides, which attach permanently to DNA. Pre-cooking meats in a microwave oven for 2-3 minutes before broiling shortens the time on the hot pan, which can help minimize the formation of these carcinogens.
Reports from the Food Standards Agency have found that the known animal carcinogen Acrylamide. is generated in fried or overheated carbohydrate foods (such as french fries and potato chips). Studies are underway at the FDA and European regulatory agencies to assess its potential risk to humans. The charred residue on barbecued meats has been identified as a carcinogen, along with many other tars
prior to the smoking ban in enclosed public areas,thousands puffed away while waiting on lines in the supermarket,banks,shops....enjoyed a coffee and a smoke in the laundromats,hairdressers—a drink and a smoke in the bars, smoking sector in the movie houses,bdwy theatres,air craft etc etc. millions have been exposed and you know what ?
We’re still waiting for one death cert.,stating
second hand smoke inhalation as even a secondary cause.
tell me please,where are the legions of waiters,ushers,bar tenders and customers exposed to this ?
In spite of all the propaganda from the Nicotine Nazis, there is no evidence that casual exposure to second-hand smoke has any health effect. You get more exposure walking on the street. These folks just hate smokers and would put them in concentration camps if they had the power.
