I'm with you...When I came back from the desert in '91 my perspective had changed on a lot of things.

As for the "science" behind such studies goes, it really depends on the true focus of the study. Were they looking to find a link between exposure to second hand smoke and death? Were they trying to find the link between a persons death and 2nd hand smoke? Also, who wasthe major financier for the study? The gov't funds a LOT more studies than people realize. There are MILLIONS of dollars in government grants out there that most people don't even realize are out there. A lot of it is tied to pork projects, too.

Just like the smoking bans based on "second-hand" smoke are ALL base on one, single study from the past, that has never been proven as true in any subsequent studies!! It's ALL based on what some PAID scientist said, and I have NO respect for scientist these days. Too much that is called scientific fact is simply a scientist who is paid to achieve a stated conclusion!!!!

I couldn't concentrate on your post because I couldn't stop staring at the Christmas chick in your avatar. Soooo, I quoted it so I could read it.

Jeffersonville did it just because Louisville, Ky did it.

New Albany looks to possibly follow the blinded herd.
