More details from petition creator

We believe that the science regarding second hand smoking is fundimentally flawed and has caused, what will be, terminal damage to our pubs and clubs and should be amended in line with the allowances made at the G20 conference.. Apart from bland statistics, the free men and women of this country have seen no, properly researched and verified scientific basis to the claims made. We therefore petition for details of all and every research paper on this subject to be made available. We propose, again, that, in the light of the G20 situation that our pubs and clubs be allowed to decide for themselves or we are presented with clear, detailed proof and not simply statistics.
