Read: Help Mayor Rodeman. If anyone knows anything our Town can do to avoid our business owners rights being trampled please contact: Email or call 970-736-2422 during business hours.
Resist the tobacco Taliban. By Rod Liddle. We are all addicted to something and our acquired habits are only rarely socially beneficial. But it is part of what makes us human. When Ash has got rid of the smokers, who will it turn its guns on next?
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Party. Mr. Caldara said, "If we treated homosexuals the way we treat smokers, people would riot in the streets."
Do Cigarette Excise Tax Hikes Cut Teen Smoking? By David W. Kuneman. This massive tax hike did not reduce teen smoking.
Does the Surgeon General's Report Really Matter? By Michael Siegel. I am less than convinced that the report has any significance. If we're going to make up our health claims in order to sensationalize them, then who cares what the actual scientific evidence shows?
The science is not in. By Jacob Sullum. Whether secondhand smoke is a health hazard or merely a nuisance, people who want to avoid it can do so by avoiding businesses that allow smoking. A free society that respects diversity should make room for people with different preferences.
The Surgeon General's Report: selective science at it again. By David W. Kuneman. Surgeon General's report prepared at taxpayer's expense follows their previous successful approach of duping the public by selectively considering only evidence supporting the conclusion that secondhand smoke is a health risk.
Reader Responses. This is where every US citizens' focus should be right now, not on the antis just getting in a little gloat for the day.
USA: 2006 Surgeon General's Report on Secondhand Smoke.
Health troubles persist for 9/11 rescue workers James Zadroga, the first death linked by an autopsy to toxins at the site. Accusations that federal safety oversight at Ground Zero was lax — a charge that federal officials vigorously deny. A class-action lawsuit has been filed alleging that the agency made false reassurances about the air quality at the site.
About 40,000 workers need help as rare lung diseases emerge.

More Scent Ban articles.
Three independent air quality test results confirm that secondhand smoke was never a health hazard. The incredible thing is that all those who conducted the testing were trying to prove how hazardous secondhand smoke is... but in fact they all three proved quite the opposite.
