March 2012

EPA is claiming tens of thousands of people are dying from air pollution.&nbsp; They are running fake commercials showing a young girl having an asthma attack.<br />
&nbsp; <br />
EPA claimed 3,000 people die from SHS and 2,200 people die from air pollution each year both are are a stastical fabrication.&nbsp; Over the years we have seen those numbers climb to a ridiculous high unproven number.&nbsp; Government agencies need to be accountable, the sooner the better.<br />

Not satisfied with allowing adults to make their own decisions to enter or not enter a smoking bar or working there is just too much for ordinary people to choose.&nbsp; That is why the &quot;health advocates &quot; are going back to the city council to tighten up the smoking ban which began last year.<br />
<br />
This tyranny by special interest cannot be allowed to exist in a free society.&nbsp; Adults can make choices and they are not ignorant morons which is what the health nannies think.<br />

The Bloomberg administration<i>&nbsp;is now taking the term &ldquo;food police&rdquo; to new depths, blocking food donations to all government-run facilities that serve the city&rsquo;s homeless.</i><br />
<br />
Apparently going without is more nutritious than having food that is not nutritionally perfect. At least in Michael Bloomberg’s eyes it is.<br />
<br />
Why is this man still in office?&nbsp; Does a billionaire realy think he is a demi-god and knows what is best for everyone?<br />

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit has upheld a Kentucky federal court ruling that the provisions of a law mandating graphic warning labels on cigarette packages are constitutional.<br />
<br />
As we have said before this case will continue to the Supreme Court.<br />

Gov. Mitch Daniels signed House Enrolled Act 1149, the state’s first-ever smoking ban, into law Monday&nbsp;in his Statehouse office. The smoking ban takes effect July 1.
<p>Under the new law, smoking is prohibited in all indoor public spaces except bars and taverns, casinos, cigar and hookah bars, tobacco shops and cigar manufacturers.</p>
<p>Hoosiers will be allowed to smoke at private clubs, such as American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars halls, but only in designated rooms with separate ventilation systems, and in home-based businesses if there are no non-family employees.</p>

The true costs of treating smokers, the obese and the&nbsp;healthy. <br />
<p>&ldquo;Until age 56 &nbsp;annual health expenditure was highest for obese people. At older ages, smokers incurred higher costs. Because of differences in life expectancy, however, lifetime health expenditure was highest among healthy-living people and lowest for smokers. Obese individuals held an intermediate position. Alternative values of epidemiologic parameters and cost definitions did not alter these conclusions.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The lifetime costs were in Euros: Healthy: 281,000, Obese: 250,000, Smokers: 220,000<br />
<br />
Smokers do not burden society with health care costs.</p>

The statewide smoking ban in Kentucky is dead this year but they will be back next year telling the same lies.<br type="_moz" />

On issues ranging from tax credits for private school tuition to a homeowner&rsquo;s right to kill an intruder, several bills before the 2012 General Assembly resembled model laws proposed by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a politically conservative think tank funded by major corporations.<br />
<br />
If Legislators can’t write their own legislation then they should not be in office.<br />

The CDC will launch it’s latest hatred campaign against smokers by paying for air time on media outlets.&nbsp; The government does not pay for advertising, they run public service campaigns yet the CDC is spending over $54 million to spread their nastiness.<br />

<p class="first"><i>Higher taxes on cigarettes, limits on selling to kids and campaigns to educate people on the dangers of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1331755965_5">smoking</span> have saved nearly 800,000 lives, according to a US study released Wednesday.</i></p>
<p><i>The research is based on scientific models that counted how many people smoked up until 1970 and projected how many would have died of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1331755965_0">lung cancer</span> between 1975 and 2000 if not for a concerted US effort to cut back.</i><br />
<br />
Most smoking bans came into effect after 2000, so this study is already flawed.&nbsp;&nbsp; They are just juggling numbers and making statements that are not true. What else is new?<br />
