Yes, it means that they found no correlation between "second hand" smoke and lung cancer. That is entirely different than calling the results "statistically insignificant", which would mean that no conclusion could be drawn, either for a correlation or against one. In this case the statistics were sufficiently significant to find that no correlation exists.

Again: ...the scientists have found that there was no statistical evidence that passive smoking caused lung cancer.

Better than you do, apparently. Why is it, minnie, that the millions of dollars spent desperately trying to prove that shs causes harm hasn't been able to do it? And still you say ""I'm right, and I know I'm right because they wouldn't keep proving I was wrong if I wasn't right."
