The studies that show a link between passive smoking and cancer and other diseases have been done by healthcare professionals. The studies that show no link have been done by tobacco companies. Choose who you trust.Originally posted by frodo
My general impression (mainly from newspapers) was that for every study that showed a link another did not. Didn't know that things had moved on from there.
There have been massive awards for damages in the USA for passive smoking related disease. If it wasn't proven there would have been no damages.
Even if we believed the tobacco companies spin we all know that breathing smoke gives us a dry throat and makes us cough. It gives the Tramp asthma attacks. Why should smokers expect us to put up with that? And that's not 3rd party evidence that's what we know as an absolute fact. People do not need to smoke next to dance floors - why should we let them do it to us? Don't go to classes/dances where they expect us to breathe smoke and have a nicer time - and probably live longer.
Why take a risk. We get no pleasure from passive smoking and at best suffer short term discomfort and at worst will shorten our lives - and greedy/ignorant organisers are happy to see it happen. All hail Franck for seeing the light Could you bring your franchise to Kent, please
