118. I apologize for the insult.

1) I don't care what Stossel,"s politics are, I only care what the facts are. If a right winger says the sun rises in the east I am not going to challenge him just because of his politics.

2) From your link this is the next paragraph: More than 126 million nonsmoking Americans continue to be exposed to secondhand smoke in homes, vehicles, workplaces, and public places. Most exposure to tobacco smoke occurs in homes and workplaces. Almost 60% of U.S. children aged 3–11 years—or almost 22 million children—are exposed to secondhand smoke.3

If second-hand smoke was a cancer problem the rates of cancer would be at the moon with this many people exposed. They are not.

3) If you follow the links that are found within your link eventually you will find CDC reports on various actual studies that have been made. Without exception every study which says there is no link with cancer and second hand smoke is trashed by the CDC saying the study "is flawed" and "not good analysis", etc. This shows science is being throw out the window by people that have an agenda.
