Re: Question about second-hand cigarette smoke

lol, V that was some good writing. I lost any belief I had with the medical profession when I was told to put anyone who smoked, in the last 2 years of their life, as a smoking related death, on the reams of paperwork required when I did a post mortem. I said that I was not comfortable with this as it was lying, if the person met a violent end, was killed in a car accident or work accident, drowned etc, this was not a smoking related death. I was basically told to just do what I was told to do or lose my job. So whether a person smoked regularly, or smoked one cig in the last 2 years of their life, they became a smoking related death statistic. Talk about damn lies and statistics.....

Anyway , I now take all smoking related information, including the 'second hand smoke' theory, with a grain of salt.
