"and reports only a slight increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease." what's a slight increase??? .00000001 rat poison is higher then that. Breathing causes a slight increase of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. For the sake of your own health I'd advise you to stop and don't work in a place which allows it.

When You Can Prove that Anti-tobacco Lies, the Perpetrators Just Switch to Another Liar - Thanks to the commendable and relentless work of Wanda Hamilton, it turns out that the colossal fraud by the American Cancer Society (scaled down and parroted, of course, by the Canadian anti-smoking cartel) about the 53,000 lives claimed by secondhand smoke(!!), and attributed to the EPA, never came from that agency. Pushed to the wall and dancing between assorted answers for quite a while, the ACS now admits that the figure comes from professional anti-smoker "spokesman" Stanton Glantz. Not even the EPA has the stomach to lie this much, as they claim "only" 3,000 "victims." The real number, of course, "0," for NOT ONE of the ETS-attributed deaths can be substantiated. The corrupt media that has promoted the false advertisement is, of course, far from admitting its complicity in the fraud.
