According to Cancer Research UK, the increased risk of contracting lung cancer if you work in a profession that regularly exposes you to diesel fumes is 47% - twice that of exposure to SHS assumed in SCOTH.
Those living in areas with high levels of nitrogen oxide (usually caused by vehicle emissions) have an increased chance of about 33% of contracting lung cancer.
Workers in the ship-building or construction industry have been estimated to have an increased chance of contracting lung cancer of up to 50% - twice that assumed for workers exposed to SHS by SCOTH.
One study even suggests that women who dont smoke, but have a wood-burning fire at home, may have an increased risk of lung disease in excess of 300%.
A French study in 2003 suggested a typical barbecue in ones garden releases the same number of dioxins that would be emitted from 220,000 cigarettes.
So, even if one accepts the SCOTH reports numbers on the increased risk suffered by those working in smoke-filled pubs and clubs, these risks pale into utter insignificance compared to risks we readily and unquestionably accept elsewhere.
so you are wrong pansy
