In 2003 he wrote a study, published in the British Medical Journal, in which he found no causal relationship between secondhand smoke and tobacco-related death – a conclusion that drew fire both because it was contrary to popular scientific belief and because it was funded by Philip Morris.
Oops! I wouldn't call it a study. I'd call it PR work.
- dantheman 16y agoWho cares who paid for the study as long as it is carried out correctly? It may warrant extra scrutiny, but the more there is the better. That's the beauty of science -- it doesn't matter who's involved as long as it's correct.
- msie 16y agoI see you agree with me. It does warrant extra scrutiny. Frankly, it doesn't matter if the study is carried out correctly or not. All that matters is that a study in some journal says that second-hand smoke is not bad for you.
