...the most comprehensive federal probe since the last surgeon general's report on the topic in 1986, which declared secondhand smoke a cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers.
They neglect to mention, of course, that the entire 1986 report had been debunked by 1990, which has called into question all actions by antismoking nazis that have drawn on it since (which is, of course, all of them).
The debunking can be found in an issue of JAMA. I can't remember the exact issue, because it's been a while. I want to say 1Q90, but my brain's sense of place (where I was when I read the article, and the circumstances in which I remember reading it) instead points to 1Q89. It's been confusing me for years, and I haven't found anyone with an online subscription who can look it up for me...
