Comment | This materials bearing on this issue seem to contain a curious mixture of science, guesstimizations and pure fallacies. Do you have links to any discrete, empirical, preferably-duplicated, real-world studies concerning the causative effect of tobacco use and lung cancer? I cannot find a single (supportable) one! I can find plenty concerning diesel and other industrial fumes. I can find plenty establishing the causative relationship between tobacco use and emphysema. But zip for the same to lung cancer. Likewise, I can find no _supported_ evidence for causation between ETS and any disorder. Many years ago, when I set up a web site for a county science fair, one of the students asked me to find such a study for him so he could come up with a project aimed at winning that county's new tobacco-related project award. I've written everyone from WHO to NIH to the EPA and on and on. None of them can come up with an empirical, real-world study that eliminates any other possible causative contaminants in the air. Thanks! -- Roger |
