FORCES - THE EVIDENCE - Comparative evidence: smoking as a source of pollution, compared with other sources


	Double Standards: Diesel Vs. Secondhand Smoke - From the junkscience.com web site, more evidence of cognitive dissonance on air quality issues: How would Mr. Rogers put it? "Can you say 'double-standard'?"
	Assessment of Volatile Hydrocarbons from Tobacco Smoke and from Vehicle Emissions - A DIRECT MEASUREMENT study (no statistics) from Sweden. This one demonstrates that a person driving a car downtown is exposed to the same amounts of pollutants as being in a smoky cafe`... but kids are not forbidden from riding in cars!
	The B.C. AirCare Report - DIRECT MEASUREMENT read-outs from BC AirCare laboratories indicate that vehicular emissions 1995 in the Vancouver's Lower Mainland amount to 324,500 tons, or 2 pounds per person per day. How does that compare with 0.5 millionth of a gram per cubic foot of Environmental Tobacco Smoke in a normally ventilated room?
	The Aircraft Emission Study: Technical Data on Reducing Emissions for Commercial Aviation - The equivalent of the smoke of over 24,300,000 cigarettes is left behind each hour on the runway of the Vancouver airport by airplanes. The non-smoking Vancouver airport is ventilated with outside air. A reality that City Councils and antismoking physicians and crusaders simply prefer to ignore.
	The Exhaust Emissions Study - Read this analysis on the devastating amount of unregulated carcinogens and mutagens we breathe every day from motor vehicle exhaust. No matter how much you know, you will be amazed. Unregulated motor vehicle exhaust may well be the determining cause of lung cancer, and other disease. But the health authorities prefer to mislead to us, and blame smoking, for it is easier to blame Philip Morris than General Motors... at least today. Tomorrow GM could be the next target.
