Smoking Ban will Eradicate Cancer, Freedom
Dr. Harry Burns claims that a smoking ban in 'Public' Places will 'virtually eradicate lung cancer in 20 years.
"Imagining Scotland with no lung cancer is not trivial speculation.” said the Doctor adding “In the 1960s, one in 100 men died of lung cancer. [...] Today, rates are falling all the time and thanks to the smoking ban, I expect the reduction in deaths to accelerate until dying from the disease becomes a rare occurrence.
"Anecdotal evidence shows that since the smoking ban, there has been a surge in the numbers of smokers seeking help to give up."
Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco (Forest) spokesperson Neil Rafferty sees otherwise, accusing the Doctor of painting a completely misleading picture.” Rafferty went on to say “The evidence from other countries shows that smoking bans have no significant effect on smoking rates," he said.
"Secondly, there is no conclusive evidence that lung cancer is caused by second hand smoke.
"We should really expect better of Dr Burns than to go around making such ludicrous claims."

Mr Rafferty said that by claiming such good results from the policy, the public could be misled into entrusting politicians with more power over people's lives.
Well Said Mr. Rafferty, Well Said.
