Who let THIS idiot out of his box? I see a letter is due to this lying blow-hard!

[SheLion]

Let’s write to this pompous ass, shall we?

[D.P.Roberts]

Wow, Ned! Don't you just hate it when people won't do what you know is best for them?

[SheLion]

respected World Health Organization

Respected? BY WHO?

[SheLion]

It would make so much more sense -- and be fairer to business -- if there were a statewide ban.

OH REALLY??!!

[SheLion]

But state governments have caved when it comes to banning smoking in restaurants and bars. The hospitality industry must be very powerful.

Or maybe, just maybe most of them KNOW how the Federal COURT threw out the EPA's Biased Study on Second Hand Smoke:

Federal Court Rules Against EPA on Secondhand Smoke

I don't believe this, the lies get bigger by the minute, and they get more and more blatant about it.

#5...... A veteran called in to a talk show today and said most of the Legions in Ottawa are closing, they have zero customers.

[Great Dane]

#6... Perhaps you should send him a copy. :-}

I hear ya. Who let this so called "Editor" out of his box?!

What a cutie...........NOT!

[altair]

Respected? BY WHO?

Good question. They have a marvelous track record in Africa.

Legions are closing? This is SO sad, Great Dane. How a certain few can really stick it to people.

[altair]

That's not necessarily the case, however. Two states have banned smoking in all restaurants and bars. One is California, which has long set the standard for healthy smoking regulations.

While at the same time, requiring the known carcinogen MTBE to be added to gasoline. Sigh.

[concerned about politics]

bizarre that government still permits

Hail Hitler!

[concerned about politics]

Based on the known hazards of secondhand smoke,

What KNOWN hazard? The WHO couldn't find anything. Nothing.
Because the report had nothing, they simply stashed it. It's all propaganda because some from the Socialist left are "offended."
If it's money for medical care they're really concerned about, let's start after those who spread the AIDs virus. That costs even more!

[Max McGarrity]

I'll have to hit this one tomorrow. Just don't have the energy it will take tonight. You don't suppose I'm getting old, do you? Naaaaaaaa.

[Madame Dufarge]

Life's just never been the same for this guy since the Ceausescu's demise.

All the greats are gone now.

[Just another Joe]

Analyzing the results of more than 3,000 studies, W.H.O. determined that smoking doesn't just cause cancer of the lung, throat and bladder but also cancer of the stomach, uterus, liver and kidney, along with leukemia.
So EVERYONE that smokes will get cancer, somewhere, sometime, somehow. That's what I read into this statement.

More relevant to government's role of protecting the nonsmoker, the W.H.O. report said passive smoking increases the risk of contracting lung cancer by 20 percent, with the greatest risk for those working or living among smokers.

Based on the known hazards of secondhand smoke, state governments have prohibited smoking in many public places. And, of course, most businesses have prohibited smoking on their own.
Which W.H.O. report was this? The last one I remember hearing about said that there was no appreciable risk to non-smokers. What hazards is this man talking about? State governments have banned smoking because of the lobbying efforts of anti-smoker nico-nazis.

The problem is many communities are afraid to stand up to bar and restaurant owners and end up taking half measures. That produces a patchwork of regulations, enabling businesses to argue that they'll lose customers to more lenient towns. That can be enough -- it was in Attleboro -- to stall moves for a total ban on smoking in bars and restaurants.

(It doesn't matter that the argument has been proven wrong; it still carries weight with municipal officials.)
Where does this guy get his information? I'd really like to know.

I'm gonna HAVE to write this fellow a letter and ask him for his sources just so I can hear him go, "Well, ummm, uhhh, I don't have to tell YOU."
