None exist in any quantity to cause harm. I can only assume some of the people commenting here are displaying symptoms of physcho-somaticism, it's all the mind or fancy a fat payout from the courts.<br /><br />In 1991 an experiment was done on side stream smoke (SSS). SSS is undiluted by inhalation via a smoker's lungs where 95% of the chemicals are ingested. The setting was a room 20 feet by 24 feet by 9 feet, sealed and unventilated and the "sniffer" was 6 inches away from the lit cigarette. It produced the following results whereby you would have to be surrounded by the following number of smokers to reach a dangerous level.<br /><br />Benzene 13,300 smokers.<br />Polonium 750,000.<br />Nickel 40,000.<br />Acetone 178,000<br />Benzo(a)pyrence 220,000.<br /><br />So you are telling me smoke travelling 10-20 feet diluted by other air is a health hazard? You remind me of alchemists of the middle ages. Benzene constitutes 3% of a gallon of gas, and is often unburned in a car engine, the by product is benzo(a)pyrene. Your car will kill far more people before a smoker.<br /><br />http://www.prevention.ch/20465909330950.pdf<br /><br />harleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-49136310048418800192012-07-23T16:43:36.342+01:002012-07-23T16:43:36.342+01:00It is surprising how many of these people become o...It is surprising how many of these people become obsessed. They seems to lose track of the simple fact that the human body is quite capable of excreting substances for which it has no use. Of course, some substances, if taken in small doses over a long period of time, such as arsenic, can accumulate, but even those dissipate in due course when administration of the substance ceases. (Generally speaking)<br /><br />I think that these people lose sight of the fact that, to be harmful, one would have to drink tea and coffee for a couple of hundred years before any signs of damage appeared - if ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-53483572027054272392012-07-23T16:27:13.802+01:002012-07-23T16:27:13.802+01:00I was hoping for something a little more erudite, ...I was hoping for something a little more erudite, instead I can only think of this.<br /><br />If he believes that wearing large glasses makes his ludicrous forehead look smaller and more identifiable with the human race then he can pop his head up botty.<br /><br />In the meantime somebody remind him not to tilt his head forward – or he’ll lose what few marbles he has left.<br /><br />That was sort of erudite.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239651363530826401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-49779189836655388052012-07-23T16:01:51.399+01:002012-07-23T16:01:51.399+01:00Well Daarieme the Americas appear to have been inh...Well Daarieme the Americas appear to have been inhabited for between 15,000 and 20,000 years. This is, of course, based on the current evidence and will almost certainly change. So as I suppose the consumption of native plants follows, fairly quickly, behind habitation the use of the term tens of thousands of years is not incorrect.<br />HereticAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-61126695366184179312012-07-23T14:22:23.090+01:002012-07-23T14:22:23.090+01:00And this man's book will probably land front a...And this man's book will probably land front and center in multiple copies in all library locations throughout the city of San Francisco. Meanwhile, your books, they would never bother to hear of it, let alone anything else giving alternative argument to everything from health-fascist-lifesylism to AGW. Al Gore is another one plastered all over the library system, but nothing to debate it. You should offer to send both San Francisco and Los Angeles library systems a set of your books for free - then see if they refuse to accept it. In which case you know then they're impenetrable to any ideas outside of their narrow little indoctrinated weird world. If nothing else it would make for great publicity stunts and could be used to generate Press Releases, should any over-the-top narrow-minded illiberal-liberal library systems refuse your offerings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-20974080603366317672012-07-23T14:19:35.037+01:002012-07-23T14:19:35.037+01:00"tens of thousands of years": not for th..."tens of thousands of years": not for the ones from the New World, obviously.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-20399862914812481912012-07-23T14:07:10.713+01:002012-07-23T14:07:10.713+01:00Really, just how long does this man think people h...Really, just how long does this man think people have been drinking coffee ,my guess is tens of thousands of years.<br />As for Tobacco Coca, Kat, or Cannabis ,probably longer.<br />Not to mention brewing.<br />All stone age pursuits i'm sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-69145015960566284932012-07-23T13:47:21.270+01:002012-07-23T13:47:21.270+01:00As I look at the man, I’m convinced that it’s supe...As I look at the man, I’m convinced that it’s superior people like Gagik G[aga] Melikyan, with his <i>Sesame Street</i> good looks (is that a puppet on his head?), who should be running the world.Yepnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-53619198345381603532012-07-23T13:28:53.220+01:002012-07-23T13:28:53.220+01:00"put down the carrot and step back""put down the carrot and step back"Robert the Bikernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-88869952353298179262012-07-23T13:16:42.322+01:002012-07-23T13:16:42.322+01:00"Scientists, he contends, can do better than ..."Scientists, he contends, can do better than nature by finding safer, alternative means for making caffeine available to the public."<br /><br /><br />So we should leave it all to the GM,Chemical company scientists to make a healthy nutritional paste that we can live on forever and ever, without fear of those scary little plant chemicals in vegetables that may harm us if we eat them in a kilo's worth at a time, and they will have to take over guardianship of the plants, medicines and agriculture of the entire world so we don't have to worry our pretty little heads any more.<br /><br />RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-12343660901645002672012-07-23T12:24:33.942+01:002012-07-23T12:24:33.942+01:00The clown forgot to mention water.
