DON'T SMOKE- Your Kids will be Fat and Disorderly

This article covers both new conditions that prove that smoking will cause far more problems than we ever knew before.

Medical News: Kids Pay Price for Parents' Smoking - in Primary Care, Smoking & Tobacco from MedPage Today

My guess is that the kids are getting fatter due to the alphabet soup "health" organizations. They've convinced the parents to go outside to smoke. While there, the kids are hitting the cookie jar and running rampant.

I believe there should be a law passed requiring identification of who paid for every study published and released to the news media. Any study financed by the e-cig industry is immediately questioned because of who funded it, but most of the time you don't know who put the money up for studies such as this.

Of course, even this probably wouldn't work since all they have to do is fund everything through one of the front organizations such as the ALA o ACS and it appears not to be funded by who actually puts up the funds. I think they call that money laundering in organized crime.

They found that children of daily paternal smokers were from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, had mothers not born in Hong Kong, and were less likely to be breastfed.

So being from a lower socioeconomic background (PC-speak for "poor") causes your father to take up smoking and your mother to be born somewhere other than Hong Kong. Being poor also causes your born-somewhere-other-than Hong Kong mother to go out and scrounge for extra cash which means she isn't home to breast feed you.

In the editorial, Winickoff and colleagues urged continuation of efforts to curb smoke exposure [...] to further minimize exposures and improve the health of both parents and children.

Oh great, that’s probably going to be a very informative and highly factual reading.

Winickoff was the crook on Sharfstein’s FDA e-cig panel who planted some the most outright lies in the infamous July 22, 2009 press conference (transcript, audio). Asked about the actual marketing, he stated as a fact that e-cigs “are also being marketed as an entry level product. In other words for people who or for children and young adults who are nicotine naïve this could and is being marketed as an entry level product to try nicotine.”
There is pretty much no need of this ‘expert’.
