Wikipedia and BBC are NOT scientific studies. I followed up some of the (VERY FEW) links from the Wikipedia article to medical papers, and they were just what the original article said - studies that claimed improvements on this or that scale with no evidence of actual life extension.
- berntb 17y ago>>Wikipedia and BBC are NOT scientific studies. Good counter to my argument that they are! :-) Both Wikipedia and BBC referenced real studies. You seems to claim that there is a conspiracy (with Wikipedia editors, BBC and the rest of the medias) against the tobacco companies? I count all conspiracy theories as "extraordinare claims", so do you have any "extraordinary support"?
- billswift 17y agoI don't see any need to invoke conspiracies. Most probably they are just reading somewhat uncertain and vague data to support what they think is true (confirmation bias?).
- berntb 17y agoSo, it is not a conspiracy theory to assume the world's complete collection of newspapers are totally wrong in their description of the research consensus? Despite decades of big advertisement budgets from tobacco companies, saying differently? Go away, troll.
