A new study brought to you by the Journal of Pseudo Science has discovered a correlation between the degree of anti-smoking zeal and a person’s communist propensity. When Dr. Busybody was asked how he felt about the study, he stated, "The ends justify the means. First we condition people to allow us to think for them, all the while systematically banning or hyper regulating items we do not feel are good for people or find offensive. The next item on our agenda is fast food, and soda. After which, we are going to seek high taxes on meat products to reduce the amount of meat eaten, and animal murder. I joyously see a future when we can lock down everybody into automatons; after which, there will be peace on earth. Just think, everyone will be equalized to the same level, and nobody will be able to do anything that could cause harm to themselves. Rejoice in the anti-tobacco rhetoric Comrade! It is one of the first steps into our glorious revolution to manipulate and control the human condition." So does the amount of conviction that hyper-anti-tobacco zealots express show how much Communist propensity they have...? There is strong scientific evidence that points to yes...Tune it next week for, "Bigfoot Once Existed, Time Traveling Forth Hand Tobacco Smoke Decimates Species."

It's astounding that so called legitimate news organizations add to these lies. It all started with banning smoking on airline flights of two hours or less, now it's become a massive conspiratorial deception. I do not smoke.

People who live in apartments are more likely to smoke and/or lie about smoking than people who live in houses. More intelligent people are less likely to smoke, and they are more likely to save money and buy a house to provide security to their future.

Also significant is the World Health Organization (WHO) study which concluded "..secondhand smoking doesn't cause cancer..." found online here.Excerpt:Passive smoking doesn't cause cancer-officialBy Victoria Macdonald, Health CorrespondentThe results are consistent with their being no additional risk for a person living or working with a smoker and could be consistent with passive smoke having a protective effect against lung cancer. The summary, seen by The Telegraph, also states: "There was no association between lung cancer risk and ETS exposure during childhood."And if lawmakers need additional real world data to further highlight the need to eliminate these onerous and arbitrary laws, air quality testing by Johns Hopkins University,

Lies All Lies.......
March 12, 2008British Medical Journal & WHO conclude secondhand smoke "health hazard" claims are greatly exaggerated The BMJ published report can be found here:http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/326/7398/1057And concludes:The results do not support a causal relation between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality. The association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed.What makes this study more significant than any other is that it took place over a 39 year period, and studied the results of non-smokers who lived with smokers..... meaning these non-smokers were exposed to secondhand smoke up to 24 hours per day; 365 days per year for 39 years. And there was still no relation between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality.This report was of course silenced in the media; however in light of the damage to business, jobs, and the economy from smoking bans the BMJ report should be revisited by lawmakers as a reference tool and justification to repeal the now unnecessary and very damaging smoking ban laws.
