Unfortunately, this particular birth has resulted in the bastard child of the anti-smoker cultists.
It is an unbelievable tale. Newspapers the world over are clamouring for this latest fiction. None of them questioned the methods, none of them questioned the science (not surpringly, as there is no science in this fairy tale), and none of them examined the one question that was asked of the respondents in this survey. And a survey is all it is. Finding any evidence in this latest garbage is like looking for hen's teeth.
So, let's have a look at the ingredients: a misguided zealot, zero science, and the wrong conclusion drawn. It's all par for the course so far.
Enter Chris Snowdon, our good friend and author of Velvet Glove Iron Fist.
Chris examined the recipe and found it wanting. He had a look at the author of this garbage, examined the "facts", applied his critical thinking, and the story melted faster than a snowball in hell.
Tricky Dicky Carmona, ex-Surgeon General, gets a mention for his ridiculous "there is no safe level of second hand smoke" statement. Readers will be delighted to discover near the end of Mr Snowdon's piece, that there is, in fact, a safe level of second hand smoke. We know so because the zealots confirmed it.
Third hand smoke.
You couldn't make it up.
Correction: sensible people couldn't make it up.
The antis, of course, make everything up. This was a breeze for them to fabricate.
Head over to Mr Snowdon's place, and get ready to be educated.
Thanks Chris, for another exclusive!
