<p class="firstParagraph">Tobacco companies will be required to report the levels of dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes, chew and other products under the latest rules designed to tighten regulation of the tobacco industry.<br />
<br />
Reporting them and fixing them are two different issues. They should be making safer products that smokers can enjoy.</p>
<p><i>The PlainTruth About Tobacco</i>, a new book prepared by private researchers, provides an illuminating look at modern epidemiology. What it means, how to decipher it and its accuracy or lack thereof. His explanation of the methodology pertains to all studies done now on just about every health topic. He then goes on to describe how epidemiology has been used on smokers vs a never smoker and the controversial studies on ETS. A must read for everyone regardless of whether you smoke or never smoked.</p>
An estimated 200 students are expected to protest the absolute smoking ban on Maricopa Community College Campuses Wednesday.<br />
<br />
The group says it’s fed up with what it calls a "nanny-state" policy, claiming the smoking ban seeks to dictate personal choices.
<p> </p>
<p>Students for Liberty says they do not encourage smoking, but they believe students are able to make their own life decisions.<br />
<br />
Finally, a college that fights back! Good Luck!</p>

<p>Scientists often ignore negative findings that might raise a warning, cherry picking the results and putting the best face on their research. The practice involves many parties — not just the scientists — in the research process who turn blind eyes to questionable actions.<br />
<br />
“To obtain funding, a job, promotion or tenure, researchers need a strong publication record…Journal editors, reviewers, and grant review committees [<i>and I might add journalists—R.B.</i>] often look for a scientific finding that is simple, clear and complete—a ‘perfect’ story. It is therefore tempting for investigators to submit suspected data sets for publication, or even to massage data.” <br />
<br />
Publish or Perish is the story of Academia but at what cost? Biased research is not the way to find cures for cancer nor is it the way to change behavior of human beings.<br />

Seventy percent of those polled in a survey commissioned by a hospitality industry association in Plovdiv said that they opposed the planned full ban on smoking in restaurants, due to take effect in Bulgaria this summer.<br />
<br />
Introduction of a full smoking ban would negatively affect hotel, restaurant and catering industry owners, the association said.<br />
<br />
Bulgaria brought into effect a law more than five years ago requiring restaurants and pubs to have separate smoking and non-smoking areas. Legislation is making its way through Parliament that will provide for a complete ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces as of June 1 2012.<br />

This is what the Anti’s do close the noose until smoker’s can only smoke in the middle of the road.<br />
Her new album M.D.M.A. is coming out this month and in the video to promote it, Madonna smokes. You can watch it on You Tube. The anti’s are having hissy fits and claiming it undermines their advertising campaigns. <br />
<br />
Tobacco is legal and if she wants to smoke so be it.<br />
Illinois has one of the toughest smoking bans in the country. Bar owners who have lost business have built beer gardens for the summer. The police have been ticketing them because they violate state law. The battle has begun. We hope the suffering bar owners win this one.<br />
<i>As the only country in Asia not to ratify an international treaty on tobacco control, Indonesia has once again come under global scrutiny at international talks on the issue.</i><br />
<br />
WHO is having a snit fit that Indonesia won’t sign. What’s wrong with saying NO?<br />
EPA is claiming tens of thousands of people are dying from air pollution. They are running fake commercials showing a young girl having an asthma attack.<br />
<br />
EPA claimed 3,000 people die from SHS and 2,200 people die from air pollution each year both are are a stastical fabrication. Over the years we have seen those numbers climb to a ridiculous high unproven number. Government agencies need to be accountable, the sooner the better.<br />

Not satisfied with allowing adults to make their own decisions to enter or not enter a smoking bar or working there is just too much for ordinary people to choose. That is why the "health advocates " are going back to the city council to tighten up the smoking ban which began last year.<br />
<br />
This tyranny by special interest cannot be allowed to exist in a free society. Adults can make choices and they are not ignorant morons which is what the health nannies think.<br />
