Subject: RE: BS: Heart attacks drop by 25% -smoking ban
It beats me why non-smokers should still get so wound up about it now we have the ban. I suppose it's a way of exercising prejudice without seeming to be "politically incorrect". Whilst I'm in no doubt, and glad that the ban has had some positive effect on the average health of society, I'm always suspicious of 'studies', reports, etc., which seem to be no more than opinion based on statistics, both of which can so easily be manipulated to become anything someone wants them to be. The key issue here seems to be that of 'second hand' smoke, but now there isn't any, what does it matter?
