http://www.forces.org/index.php is the home page for the "evidence" for the "health benefits of smoking" site posted. It refers most often back to itself, doesn't name the sources of the studies, and when it does quote articles it is careless with the information and draws unwarranted conclusions. Don't bet the farm on what you read there. Under the table this one is funded by smoking industry supporters, if not the industry itself. Cash cow, indeed!

Too many non-smokers had to withstand decades of smokers lighting up without reference to anyone else in the vehicle, the house, the office, the plane or bus--pity the poor sod stuck in the last row of the "non-smoking" section of an airliner on a long flight. They knew they felt and smelled bad after involuntary exposure. Those unfortunate enough to live with thoughtless smokers aren't likely to give an inch on this issue now, and with good reason.
