Help someone! There was an article about a month ago--around the time Peggy Noonan wrote the article about how uncivil non smokers had become to smokers. It said the World Health Organization did a 12 site study on second hand smoke and the results were that it didn't cause increased chances of lung cancer in non smoking mates or children or cause asthma in children. I am not saying second hand smoke smells good, but I would like for the study they paid for to be released--I think it was the largest study they had undertaken on this subject.

They are wringing their hands about what to do with the study because releasing it will hurt "the Cause". I believe the article was written overseas, but I could be mistaken. It was a very long and detailed article, but I don't know how to search correctly to find it--I tried for an hour and just got frustrated.

My mother, a non-smoker, lived with a chain smoker for 50 years. She will be 87 in May and has no health problems related to smoking.
