Yet again I get insult and inablity to either read the lnks I give or personal insult.
Okay Simmo....ignore what I say just read the evidence. Go back to the swedish study the world health organisation report which they have tried to surpress.
or check the studies linked here
http://www.forces.org/evidence/evid/asthma.htm
extracts from conclusions of these studies
'The number of children whose blood levels showed effects from second hand smoke declined by about one-fifth to one-half between 1988 and 2000, depending on their levels of exposure. Those figures are obtained by tracking the amount of cotinine, a breakdown product of nicotine in blood.
But the report also found that the percentage of children getting asthma has doubled in two decades, rising from 3.6 percent in 1980 to 8.7 percent, or 6.3 million children by 2001.'

' “Our clean living ways perhaps might be leading to this global rise in asthma and allergies,” Liu said. Most people assume asthma results from air pollution or other dirt in the environment. But it may be caused by just the opposite. The latest research shows the cleaner the environment, the more cases of asthma. It has to do with our immune systems'

"The rise in respiratory problems could not be linked to household risk factors such as passive smoking, gas cooking, pets or low parental education attainment because those factors declined over the period, the team reports."
from the swedish study
"In a multivariate analysis, children of mothers who smoked at least 15 cigarettes a day tended to have lower odds for suffering from allergic rhino-conjunctivitis, allergic asthma, atopic eczema and food allergy, compared to children of mothers who had never smoked

We've all heard that smoking and second-hand smoke cause asthma, but a growing body of evidence is challenging the veracity of this old saw. The most recent study to exonerate smoking and tobacco smoke as a cause of asthma was published in the British Medical Journal July 8, 2000."
another
"Reducing allergen exposure, although intuitively obvious as a management approach, has had a less than stellar track record when applied to asthma control in clinical practice.... Even though allergen levels can be significantly reduced through use of such methods [as high efficiency particulate removers, vacuuming, and pet washing], clinical disease changes very little in response."
another
"Most asthma, especially in children, appears to involve allergic inflammation of the airway mucosa. But clinicians have long suspected that viral infection of the respiratory tract might be important not only as a cause of asthma exacerbations but perhaps also as a cause or contributor to the pathogenesis of asthma itself."
"Until recently, bacterial pathogens were not suspected as important contributors to asthma, except by a handful of epidemiological investigators who noted a strong association between serological evidence of infection with C. pneumoniae and asthma."
another shows
no association between asthma in children and Environmental Tobacco Smoke. A pet, for example, is much more likely to be associated with child asthma than ETS
Go on. Read the actual evidence. yes million of people belive it to be true that smoking causes asthma. But every reliable study has shown the opposite. That has happened because the medical authorities pharmacuticals media and government have thought...perhaps with good intention...that the risk of smoking is so bad in other ways, that it justifies lying to the publc and demonising it of things it is innocent of. Nevertheless; you are believing that lie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now exactly the same thing has happened with foxhunting and fur. The idealogcal elite, so driven by their own moral code, have lied and fabricated evidence to perpetuate their policies. Just LOOK AT THIS. A a team of some of the top animal welfare scientists , so respected by animal rights groups when it suits them, were comissioned by Brussels to check the welfare on fur farms. Obviously they expected them to conclude it was cruel. bcuse the politicians BELIEVED it was. Of couse, the farms were totally exhonerted. They found incredbly good animal welfare . Did you know for example that mink are the only domesticated animals weaned correctly....horses don't get that; and often suffer pychologcal problems because of it.
http://ec.europa.eu/food/fs/sc/scah/out74_en.pdf
Read from page six as I said. It is the welfare scientists complaining that their findings were doctored for 'political end'.
Corruption lies and propaganda at the highest level...and when the scientists published this the media would not touch it. Why...well I asked a top jounalist I HAD GIVEN IT TO. The answer is no surprise;
'because the papers make so much money from animal rights charities in advertising'
If they lied over things like hunting fur and smoking....what are they capable of over things like Iraq.
When they want to ban racing...and many Labour mps do
eg here is my own mp
'horse racing is an unecessary abusive and expliotative industry throughout'
they willdo the same. Animal rights groups will run campaigns against the grand national etc with huge advertising budgets and then the drones will believe it. Of course the evidnce will be fabricated exagerated etc and counter evidence ignored. The message will be suitably packaged for the masses and the National banned; followed by steeplechasing.
the rel en for this will never be known by the masses. It is the same reason as banning foxhunting and trying to kill animal farming. It's a range war. Lot of prime development land racecourses.
and its the same with the governments friends the pharmacuticals. They want you to hhave their drugs not the tobacco companies. ThE government meanwhile have developed the most outrageuosly unfair tax In history by being able to demonise it. The total revenue from tobacco tax is around twelve billion a year. Four times the cost of estimated 'smoking related disease' to the NHS. Wonder what they are gong to have to demonise to get two hundred billion of taxpayers money back for bailing out the banks.

As for shadow leader's response.
'What's the point in responding to him? He's only after a reaction anyway and a lot of the tripe written within is so ridiculous it doesn't deserve a response'
You really think I would go to all this trouble for a response.
I AM JUST GIVING YOU THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS ASKED FOR.
In doing that I have given you academic and scientific studies instead of the propaganda and faith many of you have regurgitated.
I have done that purely out of an obligation to fellow horse racing fans to inform.
NOT ONE piece of evidence has been given in response.
As a debate, it is like trying to argue with jehovah's witnesses except they aren't so rude.
As I said those of you with open minds....ignore my intrpreation if you will....but check all the links and make up your own mind.
So shadow leader...what bit is 'TRIPE' exactly.
and when you respond, I would like acedemic studies to support any assasination of my evidence; not heresay propaganda and bad manners.
I would like the same respect and work I have shown to you and evidence sought and presented...otherwise, you have lost the debate.
I realise that challnging preconceived secure ideas and blind faith in what you told is never easy; but I doing it here out of respect for people here in racing and simply for truth.
And as I have exposed much of what people believe as lies in thorough detail, don't you think it my worth your while at least considering after reading the links.
Your government and media have lied to you; not me.
very embarrassing!!!
