And why it that, ??
Do you seriously believe that so many people die due to passive smoking when the government cannot tell us how many have actually died if you ask them?
Who are these imaginary people dying in their thousands? They don't exist in reality thankfully, only in the minds of antismoking hate groups do they exist as it gives them the justification to impose ever more restrictive bans and induce fear into those gullible enough to believe the lie,.that a mere whiff of smoke is going to harm them.
There is not one person who can be named that died due to passive smoking.
Now you'll probably think to Roy Castle...
It is now taken as gospel by most people that Roy Castle died from lung cancer "caused by passive smoking". It is a very sad situation when anyone who has the misfortune to contract lung cancer, in whatever form, automatically believes that it has been caused entirely on their own smoking, or if a non-smoker like Roy was, then other peoples smoking
must be to blame. Nothing else is publically considered nowadays.
If passive smoking is the cause of some cases of lung cancer it is necessary to presuppose the following.
Tobacco smoke, inhaled by active smokers over many, many years is implicated in an increased risk of developing both squamous and oat cell cancers of the lung. But, that same tobacco smoke, when inhaled by passive smokers at infinitely lower doses is somehow supposed to cause an entirely different type of cancer, adenocarcinoma, in a different part of the lung, not associated with active smoking.
Sir Austin Bradford Hill, who first discovered the increase in risk of squamous and oat cell lung cancer among active smokers found absolutely
no association whatsoever between smoking and adenocarcinomas.
When Roy Castle had the autopsy, it was found that he had the wrong type of cancer to be associated with smoking.
