I'm a biologist who does medical research. It's not just tobacco smoking in public that should be banned, it's all tobacco smoking. The dangers you read about have all been understated. The truth is that the dangers to the smoker and those around him are worse than you've heard.

Don't even call me a socialist or a Nazi. This is purely a health issue. Don't try and make it a political issue.

Every honest medical researcher knows that tobacco smoke is medically harmful whether it be primary smoke or ETS. There is no doubt about this.

If you have links that say otherwise they are Big Tobacco's propaganda links. The real medical community knows how damaging tobacco smoke is.

The warnings on cigarette packs are all very understated.

Does that mean you will not consider links because they are obviously Big Tobacco's propaganda. I don't want to waste my time.

So the World Health Organization is a front for the tobacco companies?

So the American Heart Association is a front for the tobacco companies?

So the Oak Ridge National Laboratories are a front for the tobacco companies?

Those ARE the three largest studies made of ETS thus far.
And none of them found any statistically valid linkage between ETS and ANY medical condition.

Now what?

Then being a man of science, perhaps you could post your links to the pertinent research.
