The Surgeon General said there ‘is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke’, and suddenly smoking bans spread around the globe. But, this statement defies logic and the fact that the dose makes the poison. This is true in epidemiology, science, and medicine; it always has been and always will be. That is why you can consume pesticides, hormones, and harmful pharmaceuticals in your food, water, and consumer products and still survive. The dose makes the poison.Â
Â
The Surgeon General, EPA, FDA and every government, and every non-governmental agency that has promoted smoking bans has lied to you.  In fact, a quiet street has five times more carbon monoxide than a smoky bar, and there is absolutely no significant evidence showing that second hand smoke causes lung cancer (and there have been plenty of studies). In fact, you should be more worried about the fumes you inhale on the street than the aroma of tobacco.  We all know that you can run a hose from your car exhaust into the vehicle and be dead in a few minutes.  Yet, I have spent countless hours in cars in Nicaragua with the windows rolled up (to avoid the dust) and inhaled 2,3, and 4 people’s cigar smoke. The gentleman in the picture has been doing that for decades and he is 83! The fact is, we have been lied to and our entire society has been re-engineered to treat smokers like second class citizens because of second hand smoke.Â

I agree with the argument and infact I have read countless ETS studies and the toxicology of second hand smoke and know for fact that the SG has made a claim based on falsehoods and preys upon our ignorance not to review the claim to ourselves.
Most ETS if not all ETS studies that promote a claim that ETS is harmful to none smokers are based on the 1992 EPA report that suggested non smokers have a 20% increased risk in lung cancer and lung disease. However this was struck down in court as fraud and the EPA nor any other anti smoking group to this day has challeged this finding that their own study was a report of falsehoods. However still the EPA ruled in a techicality that because they have no Tobacco regulation powers they their report is purely informational but to this day has somehow been reguarded as truth. Infact for a non smoker to get cancer of the lung or other lung diseases such as asthma or bronchitis the more popular claims that have not even been demostrated once to cause that, you would have to put a non smoker in a 25X25 room with a 9 foot ceiling with no ventaliation and then expose the non smoke to thousands of cigarettes at once. While cigars arent cigarettes, there is no logic in favor of anti cigar smoking regulations.
