I'm not sure if they were being paid by a cigarette company or if they just didn't like the attitude of some of the anti-smoker activists, but taking two reports and poking tiny holes in them is ridiculous when you look at all the other reports they didn't poke holes in.
Yes I was suspicious about that BUT the fact that their other stuff is so "on the mark" means I won't dismiss what they say yet ... at present, to my knowledge, the only case of someone dying from second had smoking is UK musician Roy Castle and that wasn't a scientifically validated study.

That's what I thought (can you point to some articles on that in sci journals)?) but a very clever friend of mine also says the same ... he's not always right but I've found his views should always be taken seriously (he's that kind of person).
