But his team found that more than 90 percent of those in the study who had chronic sinusitis and more than 84 percent of the comparison group, which did not have the condition, were exposed to secondhand smoke in public places.

Its a big conspiracy aimed at making smokers feel uncomfortable smoking in public. Its so big-pharma can make a fortune selling Paxil to anxious smokers.


Follow the money. Why else would they keep lying about SHS?
