If you read the comments to yesterday's post, in which I opine that it is time for Major League Baseball to ban the use of smokeless tobacco by its players during games, you'll see that I was battered by a number of harm reduction advocates. This battering also took place on Twitter and Facebook, where further pot shots were taken.

What is most disturbing to me about this story is that there is clearly no room for a difference in opinion in the tobacco control movement about certain dogmatic elements of the field. You can't express disagreement without facing personal attack, no matter how well you support your argument with scientific evidence. Like a religion, you can't challenge the gospel-like nature of movement's mantra without being viewed as a heretic.

The Business Standard reporter was not the only one to get this message from the study and its authors. According to an at Medical Xpress: "Do not smoke and do not allow yourself to be exposed to smoke because second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke are just as deadly as first-hand smoke, says a scientist at the University of California, Riverside who, along with colleagues, conducted the first animal study of the effects of third-hand smoke."
