A new study? This Study was conducted well over 10 years ago. This news article is purely an advertisement and a form of predictive programming to prep and condition you all for up & coming anti smoking laws. This has absolutely nothing to do with public health and really to control mores aspects of our lives by issuing us fines for smoking in public/private & turning smoking into antisocial behavior.

Most hold their hands away from themselves out of car windows, like the smoke that they are creating… annoys them. That gets on my serious nerve. How can you sit at a Starbucks, the biggest sugar/nicotine addict pits stop if there ever was, and extend your arm as if the smoke you just blew out of your stinking putrid mouth bothers you. You're an effing smokerrrr…

@Megumi050505 yea, just quit your bitching and go away from the smoker. shoo, fly, shoo.

So he's a liar? Fuck that guy, his own study found no relation between childhood exposure to ETS and lung cancer. I'm getting tired of the tobacco police! This is just creating a nanny state of conditioned vegetables who will believe anything that has a remotely scientific ring to it.

Actually Australian is so much better place to live because of actions by people like my sister Sue --- who believed Where People Smoke Matters ---- It should only be with consenting Adults never around children ---

what's wrong with turning smoking antisocial, I mean it turns your teeth yellow, your hair red, it gives you wrinkles, and it makes your breath reek so freakin bad I can't even be around someone who just finished a cigarette. Forget health risks, what about people who don't like the smell of the smoke? I should have the right to be able to choose to not be around that if the smell makes me wanna puke.

Most of the chemicals found in cigarette smoke is measured in pictograms. You can fit 100,000 pictograms in a single grain of salt. This anti smoking craze has been going on for enough yrs now that the government has finally got what they want, a conditioned public, conditioned to believe anything they say about SHS. The truth is that many of the so called studies have been cherry picked, bias, and some even thrown out. Like zombies they wont look for themselves, another freedom taken away.

600, 000 over the whole world ? more people die of medical misdiagnosis in US than that..

BULLSHIT!

Private Corporations kill thousands in third world countries...

...this is an attempt to destroy another freedom.

All the studies ever done into ETS pooled together show no significant risk from second hand smoke, and we must remember that most of these studies have a bias to finding risk, this study produced by the wealthy anti-smoking machine, WHO being a paid up member, it is a pity that these studies do not have to reach a relative risk ratio of 3 before anything can be declared harmful..

Social engineering is never a good political tool and those who use this medium I hope will be held to account.
