Gabz, it’s true. The smoking rates are down while asthma rates are up!

The anti’s get sick and they still feel the need to blame smokers. Because the scientists can’t figure out why asthma is on the increase.

Just like airplanes. Their filters were always filthy. They went smoke free. Their filters are STILL filthy, and people are getting sick on long flights because of the impure air. They sure can’t blame THAT on the smokers anymore, can they.

You've got that right.

In fact, the problems with sick passengers were far less when smoking was permitted than it is now.

Gee - I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the airlines no longer have to change the fresh air in the cabin as often as they used to do?????

There are many, including myself..that suspect asthma is on the ''increase'' because of better detection methods...AND a asthma diagnosis is easily paid for....and thus "if it wheezes" it's gotta be asthma. I've alot of anecdotal evidence...and theories..but that's my take..and I'm sticking to it....hehehehe......
