Psychosomatics rule!!
And soon the world. Don't know what's worse, these losers or the Muslims.
First of all he is confusing the odor of cigarettes with the smoke. Even a good middle school science student knows the difference.
Finally, if second hand smoke has been "established" as a cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, it will come as a surprise to WHO, of the U.N., which completed the biggest scientific study to date a couple of years ago and quietly shelved it because they found... no supporting real evidence.
Isn't it wonderful how certain (and wrong) controlling sick twits can be and not even be aware of their ignorance?
You're not.
But if it makes you feel superior and special to believe it, go for it.
Were you a late betwetter too?
You'd think the fact that the mere sight of an unlit cigarette gives him a sore throat and red eyes would give him a clue.
I'm not kidding; I cause (he he he he) canniption and hissy fits walking through department stores and restaurants with an unlit cigarette in my mouth.
There were LESS cases of asthma, BEFORE the smokenazis had their way , than there is today. Curious, no ?
Mr. Leonetti,
I have just a few comments and questions for you.
1. "also second-hand smoke has been established as a cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers."
Where do you get the information that you base this on?
2. "Second-hand smoke kills 53,000 nonsmokers in the United States each year,"
Where did this information come from?
3. "Children in particular are susceptible to asthma induction and exacerbation, bronchitis and pneumonia,middle-ear infection and chronic respiratory symptoms that all result from exposure to second-hand smoke, according to published studies."
What studies are these?
4."These crowded sidewalks are confined environments surrounded by tall buildings that are no different from the insides of office buildings and airplanes. The cigarette smoke has no place to escape"
Do you not understand the difference between inside a building and outside a building? Also, the anti-smokers drove the smokers out of the buildings. What do they expect?
5. "Additionally, citations given out to enforce new laws would bring added revenue to the local government"
Now we come down to the point. Money.
.
I'll let you know if I receive a reply.
Egad, Max, I thought this was a joke at first! This CASEY C. LEONETTI should contact Henry Waxman immediately! Henry spent years and untold tax dollars documenting the deaths caused by second-hand-smoke!
Henry is THE EXPERT on SECOND-HAND-SMOKE DEATHS!!!Hennys' problem was, that after eight years of expensive study, he couldn't find a single death that was caused by second-hand smoke.
At least Henny admitted that he was wrong. This LEONETTI-COMMUNIST-SOCIALIST-FACIST-NAZI-BASTARD is still on the loose, and I promise that I'll blow his stupid brains out-of-his-head if I ever see him - stupid-wop-democRAT!!
Stay well and vigilant, Max........FRegards
All spoiled brats who think they're the center of the universe get to do that.
Yup! Stay well.........FRegards
And there seems to be a benefit against Alzheimer's with smokers...IIRC, Parkinson's as well.
This statement is the only truth in the entire article.
More evidence that public education needs to be destroyed, it's only effect is to create brain dead robots for the state.
That was before the drug companies and medical profession invented it to make a market for their wares. You know "create a need and then provide the service(cure).
Don't forget the new tax to hire all the added enforcement officers, building permits to add smoking areas to bars,restaurants, etc.
