The Antismokers Are LYING To You !

They say the EPA found that smoke in a well-ventilated bar causes cancer. The reality is the EPA never even LOOKED at such low levels of exposure, but looked instead at very HIGH levels over periods of 40 years straight and STILL failed normal scientific significance standards!

They say studies show bans won’t hurt the bar/restaurant business.

The reality is those studies gave those results by ignoring noncompliance, overall economic growth, and restaurant degradation to fast food outlets.

They say “tornado winds” are needed to ventilate non-smoking sections. The reality is even mild air movement in a well designed bar moves smoke quite effectively to exhaust vents.

They say “Smoking bans have reduced California’s cancer rate by 14% ”

The reality is California’s total smoking bans began in 1998… having NO effect on cancer rates with a 20-year time lag. The REAL causes of the decrease are 1980s air pollution laws and a changing population base.

They say there’s “a strong societal consensus” for total bans.

The reality is that such consensus only favors decently ventilated non-smoking areas: NOT total government mandated bans imposed on all.

They say non-smokers are being “poisoned” by smokers in bars.

The reality is that NO normal elements of tobacco smoke in a decent bar even approach EPA “Permissible Exposure Limits” of safety.

Why Are They Lying?

Because in 1975 the US and UN were advised that the best way to eliminate smoking was by “fostering an atmosphere where it was perceived that smokers injure those around them, especially their family, infants, and young children”
