The World Health Organisation, which commissioned the 12-centre, seven-country European study has failed to make the findings public, and has instead produced only a summary of the results in an internal report. <BR/>Despite repeated approaches, nobody at the WHO headquarters in Geneva would comment on the findings last week. At its International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, which coordinated the study, a spokesman would say only that the full report had been submitted to a science journal and no publication date had been set.<BR/><BR/>I believe the study below is the one the article refers too.<BR/><BR/>http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/326/7398/1057<BR/>Enstrom/Kabat study<BR/>Also-<BR/>http://cleanairquality.blogspot.com/ <BR/>Air quality testing by Johns Hopkins University, the American Cancer Society, a Minnesota Environmental Health Department, and various researchers whose testing and report was peer reviewed and published in the esteemed British Medical Journal......prove that secondhand smoke is 2.6 - 25,000 times SAFER than occupational (OSHA) workplace regulations:<BR/><BR/>freedom2choose. info for tolerant non-smokers and smokers alike, please, join our forums and become a member, Intolerance leads to hatred, that is not healthy for our children or Countries.

The world needs to wake up to corporate scams designed to bring profits to ‘their’ industry. In this case it would be the no-smoke products FOR STARTERS. It makes it VERY understandable why the same industry BOUGHT the smoking bans thru grants to the American Cancer Society. Tracking negative research funding from square one, the same fingers apply.<BR/><BR/>ALL in the same FOOD GROUP, all belonging to the Nightshade family: Broccoli, Potato, Tobacco, Tomato, Green Pepper and other foods contain nicotine. We can eat them but can’t smoke them? Next we will NOT be able to eat them as that same industry will want to take it into prescriptions ALSO for the good it does. DO YOUR RESEARCH!<BR/><BR/>Likes and dislikes are a fact in any thing on this earth.

All it takes is regulating authorities setting the<BR/><BR/>standards for indoor air quality on passive smoke, and the technology<BR/><BR/>does the rest. Such air quality standards are common in industrial<BR/><BR/>and environmental contexts. But, to date, no country in the world has<BR/><BR/>set them for smoking areas. It seems clear that the reasons are not<BR/><BR/>scientific, nor are they economic or technical: they are political.<BR/> <BR/>The anti smoking agencies do not want safe standards that would still allow<BR/> <BR/>people to smoke...they simply want a ban that will push smokers<BR/> <BR/>outdoors like outcasts.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>_________________________________snowbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190467191176591296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800203224024653867.post-91710926687839579192008-07-28T09:55:00.000-04:002008-07-28T09:55:00.000-04:00The people usually kicked out of a bar can now sta...The people usually kicked out of a bar can now stand out in front and hassle patrons.
