<p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana;">Smoking could kill a<strong> billion</strong> people this century! So screams the headline just out of the World Health Organization. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana;">Here is a nice example of how the fraud on passive smoke is carried out while projecting the impression that there is scientific proof that passive smoke is harmful.<u1:p></u1:p> <em>‘Nonsmoking bar and restaurant workers had detectable levels of a known carcinogen in their bodies after working just one shift in a smoke-filled environment, Reuters reported June 29.’</em></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">In this forum published by the British Broadcasting Corporation on the British smoking ban and on the presumed benefit for “public health”, we read the usual vast amount of false information on smoking and the grotesque concept that forbidding smoking helps smokers quit. ‘Thank you’, we may answer, ‘we don’t want to be helped.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana;">“Smoking ban a great success”. “Poll indicates that 87% of the population supports the smoking ban”. “Rates of smoking declining already”. “No flexion in liquor sales”. That is followed by interviews of smokers that state that “this is the opportunity to quit I have been looking forward for a long time”. Just give it a few weeks.</span></p>
