Quick Fact Sheet

Due to constant repetition, a lot of what people accept as fact about the numbers, statistics and effects of smoking and secondary smoke is so twisted that it’s little more than an outright lie.

The 400,000 “Deaths Due to Smoking” is just a number derived from a computer model called SAMMEC specifically designed to produce such a number. If the input data or formulas had less Antismoking bias, and confounders were corrected for, that number would be far lower. If SAMMEC focused on eating-related deaths it would give a figure as high as 900,000 “Deaths Due to Eating!”

Smoke contains 4,000 chemicals, but 3,950 of them are measurable only in nanograms and picograms. Know how big a picogram is? A single grain of salt weighs 100 MILLION picograms. A lot of those smoke “chemicals” are present as only a few SINGLE picograms or less. Our diet subjected to the same level of analysis yields TEN thousand chemicals!

Secondhand smoke IS worse than firsthand smoke, but only if you snort it through a straw right from the burning end of a cigarette. A nonsmoker in a decently ventilated area with smokers will usually inhale far less than 1/100^th or even 1/1000^th of a cigarette per hour. The Class A carcinogen alcohol as evaporated vapor from drinks is over 500 times as concentrated in an average bar as Class A smoke carcinogens.
