We all know that politicians lie as a matter of course, they cannot help themselves. We know too that the NHS and the medical profession are not always as familiar with the truth as we might wish them to be. And we certainly know that Academics can be selective enough with facts and statistics as to make black appear to be white when in actual fact it is green.

Given all that we know about the main sources of anti-smoking propaganda and legislation, why are we so eager to believe anything they say on the subject of smoking?

Take a moment to think. Put aside the stuff on the internet and in academic reports and newspaper stories, it comes from tainted sources, rather look at your own experience to find the truth. Smoking kills the people who smoke, no one can argue with that, and no one is arguing with it.

But can you honestly say that someone you knew personally, fell ill with cancer and died as a result of passive smoking?
