This has been pretty widely carried in North America.
There have been many favourable comments for our side.
However the ratz (antis) have mounted a comeback in the poll.
The poll is in the top right hand corner under "related".
(You can vote once per day.)
Fanny,or anyone else,could you please translate this & let everyone else here know of this?

I assume that you're referring to this "study"?
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cg.../123/1/e74
This has nothing to do with any "proven" harm,it is merely a poll on beliefs.(You cannot show causation using statistical science in the first place.USSG for one) These beliefs have been heavily influenced by the false belief that secondhand smoke is any kind of risk.This is why most in the media ignored this,as it is just another obvious "health scare" tactic.The "study" also uses "There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke" as a premise.Of course there is.In fact no harmful level has ever been found.All the air quality testing that I can recall,OSHA (U.S. Dept. of Labor),Oak Ridge Natl. Laboratory (U.S. Dept. of Energy) etc. finds that tobacco smoke levels are well within safe limits.
Exposures to second-hand smoke lower than believed, ORNL study finds

There is this also (BMJ)." We propose that the "no safe" message is so limited in its value that it represents a violation of the right to health relevant information."

The American Council on Science and Health recently published an article on health scares that you should read.It describes the means used by so called tobacco control very well.

Do you see HOW ridiculous to start a "poll" just to check how far propaganda has already worked ? Well in Europe: they had bad luck with their "3rd hand smoke" ! LOL). (They also had to give their "passive drinking" campaign up).
Thier PR People are in the USA, they send the new campaigns to Europe:
- Nürnberg => DKFZ which translates and dispathes.
- and probably directly to Ash Uk and ash scotland for the englsih version.
They do not prepre special campaigns for Europe... and they think we are stupid enough to swallow ll their bulls shit.
The pR people must laugh a lot when they invent new campaigns...
The principle is:
- Make smokers ridiculous
- separate friends and families
- Use childen as kapos against their parents
- give some business to all branches of the disease industry.
and so smoking makes you
impotent
blind
provokes furuncles
provokes depressions and suicides (which actually deprivation and champix and zyban do)
makes you uncoincentrated (although smoking helps for concentration)
and so on and so on: as long as it was pills it was already a horrible massacre; now with vaccines...it will be a genocide.
well think of each specialities... and then the doctors have to sell the shit and gets percentages.
Mike siegel wrote a good parody about that... i have to look for it.
Actually it makes no sense to publish active polls: they are all started by the pharma's agents to "sensibilise" our fellow citizens to things they would NEVER have thought about (like forbidding other people this or that, although it does not change anything to their own existence).
It is part of their cynical "awareness campaigns".
The EU even stopps the "polls" whne the result they do not want approaches 50%: the most shocking was against smoking bans: they stopped it at 11 AM! It would have reached over 80% for us.
And when some new pharma lobbyists discover that we are achtive, then they come and have them changed either by the medium themselves (newspapers, tv channels, and so on) or send it to their mailing lists and the click and claik with thousands diffenret IPs: so NO use.
Once they added 4000 clicks against us over nicht (this was just on the day after the anti smokers day 2007. That was In "The standard" online (very very Pharma friendly site (The editor, Oscar Bronner, ist of course Bilderberger).
