Michael Crichton on the Unproven Dangers of Secondhand Smoke

Good WORK Lord Monckton.
I hope that you will noted and honoured as you should be.
Please continue until this matter of Global Warming is sealed to never return again.
So that we can all get back to focusing on local pollution - were we actually can effect change to our local environment, without needing a global carbon tax to do it.
Cheers to you Monckton

The simple rule of thumb is that more smoke exposure is worse for you, and that a little is worse than none at all.
The fact that the effects of second hand smoke fail to show up in a statistical analysis testifies to the petty insignificance of those effects. But I agree that thes junk science methods are a bad precedent, which is also used with other political issues like global warming and domestic violence, where hysteria prevails over facts.

statistical significance is not the issue here, because the question of whether or not there is any effect at all has no value in this context.
If direct smoking increases cancer risk, then why wouldnt breathing in second hand smoke?
It is not a question of causality but of quantity.
How much smoke exposure is bad for you?
How much does it increase your risk?
How much should your own personal freedom be compromised in the interest of public good or public taste?

When Crichton says 2nd hand smoke DOES NOT cause cancer, he is right. However, he still wants to outlaw people who do smoke. I fail to see the logic in this. Because he, in his own words "don't like it when people smoke", he'd take part in making it ILLIGAL to smoke certain areas. Maybe he doesn't like smoke after a meal, but some people do. Why are his likes and dislikes better than others making it morally acceptable for him to makes law to outlaw smokers. Let it be said that I am a NONSMOKER.

to smoke IN certain areas lul

He's spot on,

:( if only there were more people around like Crichton

Groundless:
Another mind numbed robot. Never let the facts get in the way of your religion of Second Hand Smoke.

Michael Crichton is a damn fool

good argument. you are retarded.
