Are you saying that this study has substantial errors?
I agree. In fact, if you read the comments by some professionals, you will see that they have major problems with the study. Of course, you will inform judith that this study paid for by big tobacco money should no longer be referenced as a source that SHS has no affects. Particuarly since the study doesn't look at effects, only at deaths.
I'm saying I know of two errors, both of which lead to an overestimate of the harm of SHS.
37 of 39 years this study was funded by the American Cancer Society..........they didn't like the results they were seeing and thus defunded it.
The vast majority of the professionals with problems with this study are decrying the funding of the last 2 years of the study - not with the actual work performed.
2 years of a nearly 40 year study does not a Big Tobacco funded study make.
Not until the BMJ publishing of the final findings of this study was anything raised about what they were doing.......for 37 years. The last 2 years of funding by a tobacco company apparently made no difference in the findings.......they had remained consistent.
37 years with no question of the work of these 2 men by the medical community.............hidden agenda here - you better believe it.
