The ban on smoking in public places could reduce heart attacks by more than a third in some parts of the world, say researchers.
Two independent health reviews have found that heart attack rates dropped steeply in areas where bans have been introduced, with one reporting 36% fewer cases three years after smoke-free legislation came in.
This bollocks is going international isn\’t it?
Great gobs of howling lies being published all over the place.
Sigh.
A lie can go round the world before the truth has its boots on – because it was bought a first class ticket by a government-funded puritan campaign group.
I’m not 100% certain that ‘bollocks’ is actually a refutation. (Except in the case of Polly Toynbee.)
the people who helped bring in there dictatorship smoking ban would say anything to try and justify there actions, like make up phoney fugures.
Given their track record, I would place greater faith in the existence of the Easter Bunny
You doubt the existence of the Easter Bunny? Egad, who do you think trains the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus?
The figures given for Scotland and England have been proven to be false and even ASH admitted it. With all the obesity today, I would have thought that hearts attacks would have increased.
As a social smoker I’ve an obvious motive for denying the accuracy of these statistics. Where do I find the critique of the methodology behind these studies, or more accurate figures?
John, all you will ever need is right here. Definitely worth an RSS add.
