If you don't know who Stanton Glantz is then you probably don't know James Repace of the Lasker's. If this is true, you should be ashamed of yourself as an Anti. They are the leaders of the Anti-pack of Wolves that push most of the Fraud connected with the Smoking Ban movement. You must be very new at this. If you try to keep up with the Big Boys you need to get help. So far you seem to get judged by those in the know, with nuts and bulbs that aren't turned on. (Tuesday Aug 12 | post #349)

Fast food is much worse than Nicotine. I hate to disagree with you because you have such an eloquent way with words. You really should check your spelling. (Tuesday Aug 12 | post #26)

Kenosha city committee to consider smoking ban
"CHICAGO, July 26 (UPI) -- A scent scientist says as communities require smoke-free public places, that funny smell that lingers after the smoke clears, or "bar funk," is smelly people. Through a series of scientific tests at a popular Chicago bar/restaurant, Dr. Alan Hirsch, founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, discovered that while the odor of cigarette smoke is gone, equally offensive odors that were previously hidden have surfaced. The tests showed that bar patrons were a major cause of the stink. Sweat was one of the top odor contributors to the "bar funk" and in addition to armpit odor, smells from patrons' backs, heads and abdomens were also potent. Using scientific odor-gauging instruments, Hirsch performed an "ambient odor concentration " test to quantify how bad the smoke- free bar smelled. Based on ambient odor intensity levels -- 60 being most smelly and zero being least smelly -- a smoke-free bar was found to have a 50, compared to a swine production site at 60, an animal rescue facility at 30, a men's room at 15, or industrial site at seven." UPI.com I'll bet Bye Bye and Chuck U Farley could really stink up a bar with the hot air and no substance or fact in their rants. I rate them a 60. (Monday Aug 11 | post #22)

If you are talking about Stanton Glantz, he is a mechanical PHD and not a scientists, although he loves to call himself a Doctor. He works for the RWJF and turns out some of the most junk science the ACS and other alphabet agencies use as their proof of SHS being a health threat. He is very rich now.

I believe most of those mentioned were no smoking before bans were the rage. Most every business except Bars, restaurants and gambling places were also non-smoking before bans. The ACS/RWJF are just closing the last places open to smokers. They will now start on the Fattie's and the Drinkers. When they get control of the Nicotine market, the diet market and the anti-booze pill they are pushing now. They will effectively killed the Hospitality industry. I guess the funny thing is that the non-smokers and the Anti's are going to be, as they are now,paying for all these bans. (Saturday Aug 9 | post #322)

You are the most reasonable non-smoker in this forum. I am pro-smoking simply because I smoke. I started researching Smoking and SHS back in 1998 because my Daughter had a slight Asthma problem when she played Volleyball and she had been told it was from living around a smoker. I stopped smoking in the house. I will never suggest anyone start smoking. I will also, because of my research findings, not say smoking or SHS kills. Even now, with all the studies, there is no positive proof. The EPA report has been proven a fraud along with the Surgeon Generals report. Neither did their own studies but cheery picked studies to back their anti smoking agenda. Smoking has, since the EPA report, been added to the carcinogenic table in 2004 and also as a possible cause of Asthma although they still admit they don't know the cause. My Daughter no longer has Asthma. It was termed Athlete's Asthma caused by over exertion. It's good to find reasonable non/smoker. (Saturday Aug 9 | post #319)

if you really pay attention, youth smoking has leveled off to 24% in the last few years. Have you ever tried to tell a teen not to do something that you thought would hurt them. Put a couple of no no's on anything and they will try it just to find out for themselves. This may help in your understanding of Tobacco smoke/Nicotine. http://www.fuofcu. com/drup/node/27 A for real education on nicotine. You would never suspect the truth. You should read this before you makeup your mind that our Health Agencies are telling the truth about Tobacco Smoke. (Saturday Aug 9 | post #316)

I read a report that stated, there are more health problems caused by Airlines recycling air now that no smoking is allowed. Very interesting. (Saturday Aug 9 | post #314)

http://www.scoreca rd.org/env-release s/def/air_source.h tml#area http://www.scoreca rd.org/env-release s/hap/ Here is the real problem. This is a Pollution Locator including all you need to know. Add this site to see a graph of hazardous materials…..see chart http://burningissu es.org This is a small sample. AREA SOURCES Area sources include small pollution sources like dry cleaners, gas stations, and auto body paint shops. Area sources are defined as sources that emit less than 10 tons per year of a criteria or hazardous air pollutant or less than 25 tons per year of a combination of pollutants. The category also includes commercial buildings (heating and cooling units; surface coatings), residential buildings (fire places; surface coatings), fuel combustion in non-road machinery, boats, railroads, and even the family lawnmower or barbecue grill. Waste disposal in the form of open burning, landfills and wastewater treatment are significant area sources. Though emissions from individual area sources are relatively small, collectively their emissions can be of concern - particularly where large numbers of sources are located in heavily populated areas. Area sources are responsible for over 50% of particulate matter emissions and more than point or mobile sources for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone. More on area sources. MOBILE SOURCES Mobile sources include both onroad vehicles (such as cars, trucks and buses) and offroad equipment (such as ships, airplanes, agricultural and construction equipment). Mobile sources contribute significantly to air pollution. Driving a car is probably a person's single most polluting daily activity. Nationwide, mobile sources are responsible for about 75% of carbon monoxide pollution, and more oxides of nitrogen emissions than area or point sources. In urban areas, the motor vehicle contribution to carbon monoxide pollution can exceed 90 percent. In a typical urban area, at least half of the hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide pollutants come from mobile sources. Motor vehicles are also substantial sources of hazardous air pollutants, such as the recognized carcinogens benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene and diesel particulate matter. More on mobile sources. (Saturday Aug 9 | post #312)

The bans are about SHS/ETS. At least that is the claim but it always ends with, smoking will kill. I have noticed, after 10+years of research, when Anti's have only a minimum of fraudulent studies and their biased opinion they end with the foul mouth bully ploy. Very childish. 95% of studies, including the largest by the ACS and the WHO found no connection of SHS/ETS to Cancer or Heart Disease. Try these links. http://www.forces. org/evidence/study _list.htm http://www.amlibpu b.com/essays/surge on-genera... http://veritasvinc itprolibertate.wor dpress.co... http://www.second- opinions.co.uk/die sel_lung_cancer.ht ml http://www.pipes.o rg/Articles/Bliley .html I have over 1,000+ studies and researched articles that attest to the fact that SHS/ETS has killed no one. We are entitled to our own opinions but not to our own facts. My Grandmother had a great saying...It's better to remain silent and be thought dumb than to speak and remove all doubt. You need to take that to heart. (Saturday Aug 9 | post #307)

After 10 years of research, this stands out as one of the dumbest of all statements. If smokers are only 24% of the population and only 40% of smokers have mental problems that, given the tremendous number of mental patients, leads to the conclusion that the highest % of mental patients are NON/ANTI-SMOKERS. That would be less than one smoker out of four are smokers. I know where you got that percentage. It's just more Anti-smoker propaganda by the ACS. The acs/rwjf/j&j love people who have no clue. Just a misguided opinion. (Saturday Aug 9 | post #304)

This always flies under the radar. Strongest risk factor. http://www.medscap e.com/viewarticle/ 578363 Periconceptional Exposure to Asthma Medication Linked to Risk for Gastroschisis CME News Author: Laurie Barclay, MD CME Author: Désirée Lie, MD, MSEd Disclosures Release Date: July 31, 2008; Valid for credit through July 31, 2009 Credits Available Physicians - maximum of 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ for physicians;Family Physicians - up to 0.25 AAFP Prescribed credit(s) for physicians Asthma is a potentially serious medical disorder during pregnancy. There are 3.7% to 8.4% of pregnant women with asthma, and they are affected with medication use estimated at 2.83%, for both long-acting and quick-relief categories of medications. Approximately 10% of circulating maternal albuterol that is transferred to the fetus, but data on the effect of asthma medication used during pregnancy on the fetus are still needed. Gastroschisis is an abdominal defect with an incidence of 3.7 per 10,000 births that occurs before 10 weeks of gestation with increasing prevalence in the past 2 to 3 decades, and it may be associated with use of vasoactive or vasoconstrictive medications used in the first trimester of pregnancy. · Risk factors associated with gastroschisis included young maternal age at delivery (< 20 years), low maternal body mass index (< 18.5 kg/m2), primigravida status, Hispanic ethnicity, low education, maternal smoking, cocaine or crack use, and vasoactive medication use. · Among these factors, young maternal age (< 20 years) was the strongest risk factor.
