PHM-Exch> Smokescreens: How Working Kills Smokers (2)

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Ronald Labonte <rlabonte at uottawa.ca>


 A personal note: Much of this blog relies on very controversial studies
generated by the (late) Ted (Theodor) Sterling, from SFU. I knew him.
Sterling was controversial partly for undertaking studies funded by the
tobacco firms to show that smoking was a less prominent cause of lung
cancer than other forms of occupational exposures. It is odd to find this
controversy resurrected once again. There is little doubt that smoking
causes lung cancer. There is also little doubt that exposures to
occupational and environmental toxics contribute to this, as well as acting
as causes in their own right. So I am not sure what point Susan Rosenthal
is trying to make by pitting one against the other. Seems very old hat, and
not sure it warranted broadcasting.
