This study is just another example of junk-science. I'd like to read the science behind this meaningless drivel fancied up with psuedo-medical science window-dressings! Basically this is just another gussied-up, fallacious argument. Correlation does not imply causation.
Quite frankly I've read studies that clearly demonstrate that the decrease in pirates are the cause of anthropomorphic global warming because the number of pirates have gone down during the same time frame that supposed global mean temperatures have increased! (See graph 1 below)
Similarly, I've also read studies that show that crime is caused by increased carbon dioxide levels; crime has supposedly increased since the 50's and, eerily, so has carbon dioxide! OR is increased crime causing an increase in carbon dioxide levels? Maybe increased crime is the cause anthropomorphic global warming?
This article continues with the further great scientific statement:
The study also found that people who'd never smoked reported a decrease in their weekly amount of exposure to secondhand smoke.
Such profundity! I am astonished!
Further...
Previous studies have suggested that banning smoking in public places reduced hospital admissions for acute coronary syndrome, but it wasn't clear whether the reduction involved nonsmokers, smokers or both.
Really!? What's the difference between this "study" and the previous "study"?
Well...get ready, GarMan is correct, this rationale will be used to further curtail our freedoms.
