smoke signals IV - my answer

Very Mr X

Thanks for the reply. I'm not quite agree with your statement.

The study also says that you cited that, of the said 3.8 billion Swiss francs, which cause the smoking industry by illness, death or disability, these same smokers 2.8 billion. For this we subsidize the AHV of non smokers with 1.5 billion a year, the voluntary renunciation of five to ten years life expectancy, so AHV reference counting. In order for the CSS (author of the study) was ever on the high amount, they still had einrechnen 5 billion francs costs by reducing the quality of life, But we bear it himself. My quality of life is influenced by smoking, but only insofar as I am of the holy war against the tobacco soon chased everywhere.

And of course it is my right to harm myself. If it were not so, would contact the BAG so long ago against the sport (eg thousands of serious skiing accidents every week).
is not entirely clear to me why the BAG always with the excuse of the air pollution Bafu only has jurisdiction to wriggle out of attempts. The core role of BAG is the public health and control healthcare costs. And here is playing the air pollution a major role.
So why not fulfill his duty, the BAG and manifests itself in any way on the subject? be 40 000 new chronic patients a year, that should be at least one entry on the website value!
Again: What I do to my own health, that's my business. As long as sport is permitted in any form, people can eat what they want to drink as much as they want and the sick breathing in and of itself gives me no one has to interfere. So you can only argue with the deceased on passive smoking, and then the numbers look quite different. And as you say yourself, it lacks the basics.
I feel the unilateral curtailment of my freedom as a rough violation against my personal rights. If, then, is so large, for example, the need for smoke-free pickling, why do we have in our market economy is not much more smoke-free premises? Is not it much more likely that smokers are konsumationsfreudiger and deliver one way or the larger part of sales? Will you, before you connect with maximum exposure to the public, first clarify the real needs and the possible consequences? Are you aware that, according to ZDF had to close in New York already has 200 clubs, because the noise of neighbors gathered outside the door smoking and Non smoking endured? Do you know how many bars there are, run in which only smokers, and While in the Gastig like the staff? And remember: I can choose whether I go into a smoky bar. The air pollution but you can never escape.

And again: Where does the misconception that the Federal Office of Public Health have to do with the health effects of air pollution is not? Is it really as you say, because it's just easier to fight against smoking?

I am, as you note, not satisfied with your answer and wait so looking forward to your opinion.

smoke signals III - the response of the BAG

I give the answer here in the text again, it speaks for itself In defense be said that this is probably the author is a western Switzerland. I would not want to write in French.

Good day Mr. Pirelli

Thank you for your interest and inquiry. The air pollution is the responsibility of the Federal Office for Environment, dassoeben a plan of action launched against the fine particle pollution, see the press release: www.umwelt-schweiz.ch/ SAEFL / en / media / press / artikel/20060116/01216/index.html

Unlike air pollution, which by many factors is caused and can be prevented only with difficulty, can the air pollution in indoor combat easier. The most important factor - passive smoke can-be at the source and prevent it completely free of charge, especially as a will to do so. In Switzerland, every year several hundred people die prematurely due to passive smoking. This is an initial, conservative estimate - are a more precise figure is not because there is no specific study has been conducted. In any case, there are more deaths than caused due to AIDS, illegal drugs or violence are. The air pollution is inevitable and quite easy, except traffic, heating and industrial activities, etc. set entirely be. Even country regions were particularly affected. And by the way: Usually smoky restaurants achieve PM levels, which are usually on the high, higher than in the press recently thematized values. The costs of smoking amount to 10 billion, of which 1.2 billion for treating tobacco-related diseases and 3.8 billion due to productivity loss. Smoking is the most important vermeindbare cause of death in Switzerland and in Europe.

Best regards

I Can Hear Other People On My Walkie Talkie

I am a smoker. But I do not own a car, I never take air travel. I prefer to buy local, environmentally friendly produced products and limit my energy consumption, wherever they can. I do not eat seafood, do not ski and sit active in ensuring that issues such as air pollution and climate change are increasingly aware of the public. My LCA is better by far than those of Mr Zeltner (Director, Federal Office of Public Health) and Gutzwiller (Swiss flagship preventative medicine) - or as the holy warriors are called against the tobacco anywhere else like - with their constant air travel and big cars.

Still, I'm the bad guy. How is it that an SUV-owner, who moved three tons of tin, to inflate his ego and getting around miserable, over can complain my smoking policy and whether the prevailing morality also right there?

many questions. Some explanation of the contradictions of the current hunt will take place here in this "Freitag.de" article.

Do You Get W2 For Disability In Ny

II Ice Age due to climate warming

was repeatedly asked me how the current cold winter on the keyword "global warming" fits. Well, for one, of course, is a single cold winter still no sufficient data base, neither to confirm nor to refute the trend.
other hand, climate change in Europe in the medium term do not lead to a warming, but more cold. The reason for this lies with the Gulf Stream. This heat pump provides hot water continually from the tropics to Europe. It is powered by the sinking cold salt water in the Arctic: The water drops and "sucks" to warm water. Since, however, melt the ice caps on Greenland and the Arctic faster, more fresh water enters the sea. Enststehende the mixture has a lower density, so the cold water sinks less quickly, which in turn throttles the pump. As a result, is less warm water to Europe, leading to the apparent paradox that the global warming brings us more cold.

Who Has The Largest Breasts In The Bollywood?

Open letter to the Federal Office of Public Health: perception shift

Good day

I turn once again to you, although unfortunately the experience taught me that the chances for a response within a reasonable period are quite low. But I will not let loose.
Please explain to me the following: The very fine particles called in Switzerland at least 3700 victims per year. Other hand, takes the number 120-150 alleged victims of secondhand smoke quite modest. The air pollution load on the health of 6.7 billion per year (tobacco: around 1 billion), it is about half the traffic, which means that we at some 3.5 million motor vehicles in Switzerland each subsidize them with 1,000 francs per year in health care. The BAG is indeed millions of anti-smoking campaigns, air pollution appears on its website but not even on.

Why is this? How can you say, radon is 200 to 300 dead after smoking the second leading cause of lung cancer? We know that the particles due to their rugged Structure of toxins into the air sacs to transport and cause lung cancer, among other things. The fact that they lodge themselves in the red blood cells and thus to overcome even the blood-brain barrier, not to mention. Why is this the Federal Office of Health not an issue? Why do not you sit down for the 40,000 each year from chronic bronchitis and asthma, a disease? Half of them are children! The reduction of particulate pollution by 20 micrograms would reduce the number of cases almost by half. Why not take Felix Gutzwiller to account and ask why he voted yes to the Avanti counter-proposal? Preventive medicine, the most closely with your Body works, wanted the second tube of the Gotthard!
are now in front of several studies that quantify the effects of air pollution on public health closely. To public health but your office is responsible. So why do anything?

I am eagerly looking forward to your opinion and friendly greetings.
