I understand RR and think David Hitt has some valid points. Thanks.
Do you agree or disagree that a large body of evidence shows smoking is negatively correlated with education (and IQ). DSC and eXe don’t agree with the science. How about you?
“DSC and eXe don’t agree with the science.”
I’m going to presume that this is carelessness rather than a malicious lie.
I don’t agree with the fake science that holds second-hand smoke to be harmful. I have made no statements regarding smoking and IQ or educational level.
It’s more of a social engineering cultural norm thing. There are plenty of Indian and Pakistani IT executives standing outside my office building smoking cigarettes. They just weren’t brought up in a PC public service announcement heal the world make it a better place liberal utopia.
It’s cultural.
Ronald Reagan used to smoke.
“Do you agree or disagree that a large body of evidence shows smoking is negatively correlated with education (and IQ).”
Do you get some type of pleasure by trying to insult FReepers who smoke?
Astonishing.
.
In the first place there is no science.
Considering that there are many more people without college degrees than there are with college degrees I would expect there to be more people that smoke with a lower level of education, even if the percentages are the same. That is just simple math.
If you understand RR then you must be willingly telling people lies about ETS.
There is NO proven correlation between ETS and ANY health disorders that were not present prior to being exposed to ETS.
You can either acknowledge that you are an anti-smoking nazi telling people lies ONLY because you, personally, dislike smoking - OR, you can admit that the anti-smoking nazis have tried to pull the wool over the publics eyes concerning ETS - OR, you can go with the third alternative and continue the way you have for years trying to pretend that you are only informing people about a danger that doesn't exist.
