Muncie, IN. hearing exposes the lies by smoking ban lobbyists, & mulit-millions of dollars that Nicoderm / RWJF paid to foment those lies

Yesterday (12/15/11), Dr. John Dunn testified before a circuit judge in Indiana. He brought the Judicial Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence and a compilation of the studies (former Surgeon General) Carmona used and just how the risk ratios of secondhand smoke (1.3) would NOT stand up in a court of law, according to the Manual. The Judicial Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence requires a risk ratio of 2.0 before scientific evidence can be admitted as evidence of fact.

"Expert" for the State, Dr. Chaloupka just testified that he received close to $50,000,000.00 (in funding to promote issues such as how "deadly" secondhand smoke is) from RWJF.......He also testified that RWJF operated (profited) on their Johnson & Johnson stocks, and YES, they DO benefit from their sales of (Johnson & Johnson products) Nicoderm, Nicorette, Nicotrol.....

One of the major lies promoted by smoking ban lobbyists is that smoking bans are good for business, however, the facts below reveal the truth:

By the way, air quality testing of secondhand smoke conducted or sponsored by pro-smoking ban activists such as Johns Hopkins, the American Cancer Society, the University of Washington, an environmental health department, etc. some of which were published in the British Medical Journal, proves that SHS is 4 to 25,000 times SAFER than OSHA workplace air quality regulations; IE. NOT A WORKPLACE HEALTH HAZARD......that data is found at link below:

Smoking ban: definition update

Smoking ban (Definition) elimination of big spending, late night, liquor consuming customers.

What is the impact of decreased liquor consumption in bars and restaurants?

To answer that question you first have to understand the fundamental facts about the hospitality business that bar / restaurant owners and managers know very well. Liquor products are marked up on average 300 to 500% over cost....IE. a very profitable component of any successful hospitality establishment. Food sales on the other hand net 10% perhaps 20% profit margin.....Result? If you cut 30%-50% of liquor sales (IE. ban tobacco using customers) then the hospitality industry will see massive significant reductions, business closures, resulting in higher unemployment.

Anyone claiming otherwise is trying to obfuscate the truth because of their conflicting financial agenda, (Pfizer finances new CDC study to try to prove smoking bans do not harm hospitality businesses because Pfizer manufactures Chantix, while RWJF / J & J fund smoking ban lobbyists around the globe to promote smoking bans because Johnson & Johnson manufactures or sells Nicoderm, Nicorette, Nicotrol, Commit alternative tobacco products.........At the links below, several thousand anecdotal examples reveal some very damaging, smoking ban impact, facts:
