So HUD is angling to ban smoking in public housing? What the Fuck??

123. I guess you didn't read your link.

Typical.

There are limitations to these data.
First, we only were able to examine the
association between apartment living
and tobacco-smoke exposure; there
are other unmeasured potential confounders.
Population density and current
smoke-free housing legislation
are 2 factors that likely play a role;
these will need to be examined in future
research. In addition, the NHANES
data set has no information about
home smoking bans or outside smoking
behavior, so we cannot know how
many of these children have parents
who smoke outside or if they are exposed
at daycare centers or relatives’
homes. We hope that future research
will be able to separate out the individual
contributions of apartment smoke
drift, outside-smoker “off-gassing”
and thirdhand smoke, occasional inside
smoking by visitors, or exposures
outside of the home.

Another BS "study"

And who funded it?

Again, Apartment HVAC systems are not set up this way.
