Dr Proctor said passive smoking could cause problems for asthmatics and there were people who did not want to be exposed to cigarette smoke but there was no scientific basis for a ban in public.

.........studies of questionable scientific merit.

Wonder how many other policies are determined by studies of questionable scientific merit. ? Cholestrol, waste management, public education, tax spending or just name it. If you don't like something, just grab a study that says what you want, grab some signatures and take it the the appropriate politician, bureacrat or other person of authority and vola! If your cause has the lubricatian of liberal sentiment success is insured.
