Second hand smoke not a threat!
Ok heres the deal. Currently sometime while watching tv and going to parties I have stumbled across the newest add for kids. Apparently they want MTV, an adult tv station, to stop putting smoking ads in their programs. Well this is different I thought and switched the channel. Then upon my surprize another commercial and another about the effects about second hand smoke...well this is absolutely wrong. I am thinking. And right I was. After some extensive research I have come to this conclusion. SECOND HAND SMOKE DOESNT KILL! Did you know that the only thing it is suppost to be based upon was actually thrown out by the supreme court? Yes! Thats right! The supreme court threw out the case because of lack of evidence. Go fig. Now I am not saying it is right to smoke...smoke will kill you. But second hand smoke is NOT going to kill you unless contained to a confined area and done for long periods of time. Like being trapped in a car with the windows rolled up for a LONG time. What the american heart and lung association fails to mention is that what they are basing those nice little numbers on is ALL the people with ALL heart diseases and lung diseases. Your actual chances of getting lung cancer is 1 in 500,000 people. Yep thats actually 10 in 5 million people will die from lung cancer...but it may not be of second hand smoke. There are thousands of people where I live becomming ill and generating lung diseases because of the pollution in the air. Yep that is right! Sut in the air is making people sick and I think one died but im not sure. But the fact of the matter is that second hand smoke is no more harmful than breathing the air around you now. (unless you live in a plastic bubble with air filters) So now you know the truth!
