Another grand study that is kept under the rug!  The truth is IN here.  We just have to dig for it.  The anti's sure do not want us to see this one, either, I bet!

Ahh, but we've known about this for some time. The media is just now picking up on it.
Just goes to show you how good the researching on FR is.

I believe this is true. But it won't stop the crazy lawsuits. In lawsuits, truth doesn't matter, responsibility doesn't matter -- they are all about creed and isanity and sometimes power.

Good ammo. Lock and load.

I'm going to talk my wife into smoking a pipe while I sit next to her.

When I tried to find this article earlier in the year, I couldn't find it on the newpaper's web site. More important, we do not HAVE the actual study, so this smacks of a false report.

I sincerely hope it is a real study, but I'm skeptical.

"Passive Smoking Doesn't Cause Cancer - Official"

I can agree with this, but it doesn't change the fact that it plays hell with my severe allergies, and sinus infections. One whiff of cigarette smoke and I can't breath for over 24 hours. I can't go to restaurants, clubs, theaters, concerts etc. if there is smoke present. That's my problem and I don't want to make anyone stop smoking, but at the same time, smokers need to be considerate of others and not smoke in their presense, in public unless they ask if it's ok first. Of course I have a bad spitting habit and sometimes hit others in the face. This is ok too, isn't it?

Boo Hoo.
Now what will the neurotics bawl about??

Poor babies!

Who cares if it causes cancer or not?

If any of you smoke around your kids, you should be jailed! I personally suffered more grief than I can tell you due to the fact that I lived with two chainsmokers (had no choice, I was a kid!) in a small apartment for 10 years. Second hand smoke hurts peoples' lungs more than you could imagine!

I was hacking and wheezing whenever I tried to play football or even do a 1 mile run in P.E. class. The physician who examined me was convinced I had asthma, and I was put on a steroid-based inhaler medication for years! (Strangely, it never helped - I wonder why?!?!?) This could have kept me out of the Army!

But lo and behold, as soon as I am moved out within a few months I am running 2 miles in under 13 minutes! Please don't destroy your kids' lungs. If you have to smoke, do it outside and don't make them the victims! This is still a source of tension between my mom and me... I have told her that when her grandkids arrive they will not be visiting her house if I can smell even a trace of tobacco there, and that more likely she'll just have to come to my place. I won't screw up my kids' health on the basis of any studies, that's for sure!

When I came across this the first time...I mentioned it to several people and nobody believed it...but it's always nice to be exposed to the scientific vs the emotional truth!

[1Old Pro]

Old news. But they are right, it never was allowed to see the light of day.

[Red Jones]

you mean those big billboards that shout out that smokers are child abusers are lies??? Oh what a surprise.

[MattAMiller]

One study, especially one that conflicts with all others, doesn't mean very much. It may not have been published because the methodology was screwed.

I don't see any reason to believe that this study is the truth and all others are fatally flawed. You should expect some studies to fail to find correlations that exist. They are designed to make such errors unlikely, but not impossible.

[montag813]

Someone show this to our mayor, Adolf Bloomberg, before he eviscerates every small bar and restaurant in the city with his total ban on smoking.

[jimt]

Thanks for the post !

[John Lenin]

Next thing you know they will tell us eating fish is bad for you. Oh wait, they just did ....

[commish]

Unfortunately there are always exceptions to the rule - I grew up in a house where both my parents were chain smokers,my brother and sisters all smoked like chimney's too once they reached their teens

I have never touched a single cig. NOT ONE. Ever.

At age 38 I was diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma of my right kidney - A cancer that is linked almost 100% to Life long cigarette smoking.

I don;t care what this study says - no one can ever tell me that Passive smoke does not cause cancer!

Passive Smoking Doesn't Cause Cancer

Yea right, and automobile pollutants aren't harmful unless you wrap your lips around the exhaust pipe either.

"Passive Smoking"?

The anti's sure do not want us to see this one, either, I bet!

Who cares what you see through the smoke filled haze you live in. That study doesn't make your smoke any less disgusting nor is it a license to blow smoke in other peoples faces.
