Up In Secondhand Smoke: What Does Science Tell Us?


Up In Secondhand Smoke: What Does Science Tell Us?: "So, how dangerous IS secondhand smoke? The most reliable data would indicate that it is nowhere near as serious a threat as elements of the media (and their supporters within academia) would have us believe. In fact, ETS is, at its most extreme, far less dangerous than numerous other indoor air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, toxic mold, and radon.

The biggest study on this topic, covering 39 years, and involving 118,094 adults, with particular focus on 35,561 who never smoked, and had a spouse in the study with known smoking habits, came to this conclusion:

'The results do not support a causal relation between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality, although they do not rule out a small effect. The association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed.'"

Hillary vs Obama


Now far be it from be to want to criticize anybody, but....... How can anybody really vote for either one of these two candidates? Let's take a look at Barrack first. Here is a man with virtually no experience, unless you count one term as a U.S. Senator as executive experience, wanting to be your president. Now to the real touchy issue of race. Do we really want to elect a racist as President of the United States? Yes I said it. I must be one of the few people who read his book. It is coated with racial rhetoric. Then there is the issue of his "Spiritual Advisor", now I am not really sure what that is supposed to be but, I don't believe it should be somebody who dislikes whites, be they Gentile or Jewish, hates America, and thinks that the "Black Experience" entitles a person to behave in ways that most Americans consider inappropriate.

Now I don't want to be unfair and just pick on Barrack, I am equally appalled by Hillary Clinton and her need to tell lies when the truth would be just as good. Hillary disrespected the whole United States military when she described her trip to Bosnia. She stated, on three separate occasions, that she was shot at when leaving the plane and getting into her motorcade. Never mind the military tanks, infantry, seal teams, and secret service that put their lives in danger to make sure she and her daughter were safe.

Do we really want either of these two to be running our country?
