Can anyone tell me how can they prove that him or anyone was killed by passive smoking and not just from pollution from cars or something they worked with in earlier life?? or do they just use passive smoking as an excuse because they have no idea what caused it?? many years ago long before H&S I used to work at Firestone Tyres in Brentford, two chemicals were used extensively Tricoethylene and Benzene, we used to wash our hands in the stuff, handle it all day during our 8 to 12 hour shifts, go for a fag with our hands covered in it and even eat our sandwiches, now both chemicals are known as highly carcinogenic and I believe banned, a lot of the people that worked there were long term employees 20 years plus was nothing, I was the boy at only ten years, in all that time only one person I know of died from Cancer and he was a very heavy smoker, years later I heard a few more had died from cancer and as non smokers they put it down to passive smoking, even though their medical history said that they had worked with carcinogenic chemicals, it's now one reason I don't believe that passive smoking is to blame, I started smoking when I was around nine years old, (yea I know bad boy) at 15 I was on 20 a day, and by the time I was 30 I was on 60 a day, I managed to give up for five years and when I started again I stayed at 20 a day plus the odd rollie until I discovered E/cigs and I gave up the cigs instantly, add that to the Chemicals I've worked with over the years I shouldn't even be here, but I am and apart from type 2 diabetes my Dr says I'm healthier that a lot or the 20 year olds he sees an have the constitution of an Ox, is there just something in our DNA and Genes that makes us prone to Cancer? I don't know! but I do know that a lot of the people I've known die from it have been non smokers or worked in industries that have used Chemicals now deemed unsafe,,
