Can the risks of such a brief exposure really be that high? Not according to tobacco researcher Mike Siegel of Boston University who examined statements made by nearly 30 anti-tobacco groups including ASH (US) and the BHF as well as clinical studies upon which the statements were based. Although a half-hour exposure does create measurable changes in blood move the effects are only transitory and blood circulation returns to normal within hours sometimes immediately. Siegel says. There is no bear witness that a single exposure causes any meaningful damage in the way that the groups affirm. "It is certainly not change by reversal to claim that a single 30-minute exposure to second-hand smoke causes hardening of the arteries heart disease heart attacks or strokes," he says. in The Times 2 years ago. I have been challenging the proponents of the smoking ban to supply me with clear irrefutable evidence that passive smoking is a significant health hazard - this being the perception that the entire pro-ban lobby has left no stone unturned in seeking to promote. To go out there has been no such evidence forthcoming. Being a universalist the point that is most of concern to me is not that legislation has been brought in under popular support that has been generated by a lie. The central inform is not that this has happened but that we have a system that allows it to happen. What comment does it make about our democracy that due affect now embraces apparently using blatant deception to persuade the non-questioning to support a "desired" course of action? I'm not that bothered about passive smoking with respect to the health risks however great they may or may not be. I'm just glad that I can consume a pint eat a meal talk to friends - without the be. I still sight it hard to see why there's such a lot of libertarian indignation about this when there must be a lot of more important things to get on your high horse about. Of course it's completely unrelated to the fact that nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs around. The passive smoke argument has taken on the zeal of a religious movement. I saw an article some years ago that indicated a person's risk of developing cancer doubled simply by moving from the country to the city. When I go for a walk. I end up breathing all sorts of noxious vehicle exhausts. I don't experience how these are separated from passive cigarette smoke in large epidemiological studies over many years. Still. I can't really condone passive smoke. Once away from it smoke is irritating. In the US the state attorneys general filed conform to against the cigarette companies. The argument was "state tax dollars went to treat cigarette related illnesses." The settlement was in the billions. I was thinking I might get a pay from my previously paid tax based on the argument. But that didn't happen. The money went to "stop smoking campaigns." North Carolina used its money to market tobacco. And the law firms got billions for all their work. Siegel's inform says it is do by to claim that 30 minutes of breathing secondhand smoke could cause a heart contend in otherwise healthy populate. The ASH I work for has never made that affirm nor to the beat of my knowledge have any UK health campaigners. We have quoted research by Otsuka and colleagues that finds that 30 minutes of smoke harms the coronary circulation in non-smokers. Google "otsuka passive smoking" and judge for yourself. Since then we undergo seen reductions in reported heart attacks of 10-25% following smokefree laws in Europe and the US. Smokefree legislation reduces heart attacks. End of story. 1. Whether or not there are other studies of passive smoking that have failed to conclude that passive smoking is in any way a significant health hazard. I'm with Andy on this one. I don't believe that passive smoking is (generally) all that dangerous to me but I cannot count the be of times where I've gone for a change intensity drink and where a tiny minority indulging their apparel undergo led to me having stinging eyes often throat irritation and always stinking clothes and belongings. It's anti-social and there is no reason why the majority should have to put up with it. We've indulged these pathetic addicts too long. Are you happy that these people are able to go to the law to prevent you from doing something that is of harm to them only in so much as they sight it unpleasant? Do you evaluate that this is a practicable principle upon which society should organise itself? Now look at your own value-system. What has made you happy? That you undergo a pub environment in which you no longer have to breathe in smoke? Or that you undergo prevailed over a wrong-thinking minority so as to persuade them of the error of their ways? Have you improved a situation or merely won a battle? Is this about gaining personal satisfaction or about improving society? Have you ever thought about the idea that whether or not populate smoke in pubs may be less important than that they are encouraged to tolerate the differences of others? That it may in fact be more anti-social to FORCE people into conformity with majority values than it is to accept them to make up their own mind about what they should do and what they shouldn't do? 1. I think if you re-read my posts you ordain see that the idea of supporting anyone "forcing" their will on someone else is actually the exact opposite of what I declare. 2. From where do you get the idea that there is a huge majority of populate in favour of preventing people from smoking in public places because they find it unpleasant? act away from the statistics all those who really couldn't care less what other people get up to but give the ban because they have been conned into thinking that passive smoking is somehow harmful. What you are left with is a small group of people who are unable to consider matters other than at the particularist level. They support the ban because they find a smoky atmosphere unpleasant but they are unable or unwilling to increase their thoughts beyond the immediate vicinity of this particular ban. They are seemingly unaware that in reality social rule-making follows universalist principles so that if you justify a smoking ban because some people sight smoke unpleasant you are automatically creating as a consequence the principle that unpleasantness is a valid reason for illegalisation. Is this really the way you think we should operate? I stopped smoking after 52 years on 11th July. 2007 at 1600. Yes. I finally gave up because I could no longer feature being treated as a pariah and a cozen by the non-smoking fascists. What have I learnt? Quite apart from the lie about passive smoking which has inspired the zealots there are other lies: comprehend of comprehend improvement -Rubbish. comprehend of taste improvement - Rubbish. Breathing improved - Rubbish. command fitness improvement - assail. Bank balance improvement - Yes but imperceptibly. The communicate is that on all the GPs tables of risk. I've made an exponential leap on the life expectancy table. What a communicate. The risk of me being beaten to death by a drug crazed gang of youths is now much greater than me dying prematurely of heart failure. Mind you that was probably the inspect anyway. If the lie is big enough and it enables governments to tell you how to run your lives to the greater good as they define it of those who might vote for them then bring it on. Oops! was that my globe warming? What a farce. Sleepwalking to Totalitarianism. Ian Platt. 1. You like virtually everyone else seem to evaluate that the considerations comprising this discussion can be ring-fenced into a small restricted area in the immediate vicinity of smoking. So that it's quite correct practice to ignore anything that isn't directly related to smoking. This not to put too fine a point on it is ridiculous. In this country we seem to have completely lost sight of the fact that the goodness/badness of a particular policy comes from judging the contributions to this of ALL the consequences not just the ones at which the policy is specifically directed. I don't really care that much about smoking as such. I'm an ex-smoker who when a smoker was always meticulous about the consideration I showed to other people in my immediate surroundings. In go. I expected other populate to be as meticulous in the consideration they showed me. So that if I asked them if they minded me smoking. I really didn't expect them to say "yes" unless they really believed that the disutility to them of me smoking was greater than the disutility to me of me NOT smoking. If they had a REAL problem with second-hand smoke then not only would I be quite happy to refrain but I'd see it as my duty of consideration to do so. I really believe that trying to improve behaviour through legislation is very very much the poor relation of working to develop the self-legislation that comes from prioritising consideration for others. In fact. I think that top-down legislation actually destroys any possibility of nurturing consideration for others. 2. The burden of proof is with the instigators not the sceptics. If with all its resources the massive anti-smoking beg is unable to produce a damning argument other than by misrepresenting the bear witness then I'm afraid that I'm unable to conclude otherwise than that there is no real evidence in give of their case and that the entire brouhaha about passive smoking is something that has been deceitfully generated to further a cause that is completely different - that of seeking to reduce ACTIVE smoking. Which is the very inform I've been trying to make all along - that the inform at issue is not specifically to do with smoking; it's to do with whether or not it's correct for legislation to be brought in on the back of misrepresentation and fabricated evidence. Is the adult population so incapable and ill-informed that it is impossible to govern adequately without treating it as though it is a class of 5-year olds? SimonThe studies ASH cite are in lie with the scientific consensus but you (and anybody else) can easily check that out by going to PubMed Central and running a examine on "Environmental Tobacco Smoke" or "Passive Smoking". This will search a huge database of scientific journals. You will find few studies if any showing no harmful effects of secondhand smoke. Of cover it is difficult for any scientist to get research published which finds "no link" on whatever issue this is a problem in all fields of modern research. The notable exception is investigate funded by industry (in this case the tobacco industry) which should be read with caution especially when it runs counter to independent studies.
