Beijing As Second Hand Smoke
2008-03-31 01:32:00 I make it a point to leave it to others to write about air pollution in China from a non-legal perspective, but this one from the Beijing Olympic Games 2008 Blog is just too good to pass up. Seems those who say breathing Beijing air is like smoking a pack of cigarettes a day are exaggerating, it is actually like living with someone who smokes a pack a day: The magazine ‘that’s Beijing’ interviewed Dr. Will Chickering from the Beijing United Family Hospital on Beijing’s air pollution. Reports had suggested that living in Beijing was the equivalent of smoking a packet of cigarettes everyday. Dr Chickering in the interview said that it is not that bad. “It’s more like living with someone who smokes a pack a day”. What a relief. Just the facts....

Second hand smoke is bad for you [Effect Measure]
2007-11-27 15:55:00 A week ago we defended a colleague against attacks from overzealous anti-smoking crusaders when he criticized their patently absurd claim that breathing 30 minutes of second hand smoke in a public place was equivalent heart attack risk to that of a smoker. Some interpreted this as our saying second hand smoke was not as bad as alleged. I suppose the question here is “alleged by whom,” but we don’t have to play those games. Second hand smoke is bad for the health of those exposed to it for any length of time, as a new study shows graphically — literally: Read the rest of this post… | Read the comments on this post… Original post by http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/-ScienceblogsCombinedFeed/~3/191-267177/second_hand_smoke_is_bad-_for_y.php

Even smelling it on somebody's breath sometimes induces coughing.While I recognize people's right to put anything they want into their bodies, I am grateful that I live in California, where smoking in public places is uncommon and there is very progressive anti-smoking legislation.Tobacco, no matter what its medicinal properties, is poisonous in the form of second-hand smoke.Second-hand Tobacco smoke ruins other people's meals, gives children lung cancer, hurts people with sensitive lungs and undermines the health of people who suffer from immune-system wrecking conditions like AIDS.Please poison yourself in your own good company."

During the 1980s when I was in my 20s, I toolike many other youngnon-smokers,went tosmoke-filled night clubs, since that’s what everybody else was doing on Fridayand Saturday nights.The Green Goose in Wuerzberg, Germany was the worse I’ve ever seen, a popular dive for US soldiers.Withinminutes in that dive, my eyes were burning likehot stones.I would have togo outside every 15 minutes or so to take a break in thefresh air,it wasthat bad.Whatmade it especially bad waspoor ventilation.

The time I visited a chain smoker in his home, not only were my eyes burning and s...

The studies that claim otherwise — particularly of the “city bans public smoking, sees death drop precipitously in six months” variety — have been pretty ridiculous. However, I’d always had the impression that the research said something. The ...
