There has never been conclusive evidence that second hand smoke causes health problems.
The study above appears pretty conclusive to me. If you understand science you know that nothing is 100%. So you do studies and none are perfect at isolating the item being studied.
But I think it is safe to say that the odds of their being causation are quite high.
.
Mr. Thi,
that conclusion is a hint that you don’t have such a firm grasp of science your own darn self.
I can explain the change without any reference to smoking or a ban on smoking.
Folks in P-town (does anybody still call it that anymore ?) are really juiced about slapping down the Springs in Federal court, salivating at the prospect of denying access to CS-owned water that was the reason the Springs built Pueblo Reservoir in the first place.
A couple of old ranchers (105 of them, by your count,) plus even more further down the Ark valley, are excited that they will still be able to use (and make money off of) Colorado Springs-owned water that flows downstream because its legal owner can’t (yet) get it.
Oops. I guess you were right after all. Pueblo City & County government has inspired those old coots to hang on just to see the a-holes to the North get their comeuppance.
Touche.
.
People who are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke (bartenders, waiters, children of smokers) develop health issues at rates very similar to those who do not encounter second-hand smoke regularly.
One study even looked at the chemical composition of second-hand smoke and found that it was actually more toxic than inhaled smoke (The smoke that comes off of the end of the cigarette is not filtered and contains higher levels of toxins).
I’ve yet to see anything. I disagree with Dave’s statement above that the study he cited is conclusive proof.
Darwin’s initial work was the best explination for the data he found. But it took another 10 – 20 years of additional study to show that evolution was a solid theory.
This is the most sophisticated study in this question to date and as such should carry the most weight.
