Check Out the New Secondhand Smoke Look

Posted May 24 2009 11:06pm 1 Comment
The transition of SHS to the First Things family of blogs will soon be upon us. To see what it will look like, you can go to FT's new home page --still only partially constructed--and then hit the blogs link. Secondhand Smoke will appear. Hit that link, and you will find me, or actually SHS as it looked a week or so ago. (They have not yet transferred the latest posts to the FT site). Or go there directly from here.

I will not be using Blogger once the transition is completed, but you should be able to access SHS the same old way--you won't have to go through FT. I still intend to permit comments. My hope is that the added viewership will make things even more interesting around here than they already are.

Thanks to all for your viewership and participation.

Despite an early awareness of the likely harms of secondhand smoke, the tobacco industry coordinated to engineer a scientific controversy with the aim of forestalling regulation of their products. Currently, the health risks of secondhand smoke are a matter of scientific consensus, and these risks have been one of the major motivations for smoking bans in workplaces and indoor public places, including restaurants, bars and night clubs. Whole body imaging is normally useful for medical purposes at times, but certain people feel that using the technology for airport security is going too far. Whole body imaging scanners are set to debut in airports, and certain groups such as the Privacy Group don't want it happening. The Privacy Coalition is a group of over 40 different organizations that insist on a person's right to privacy, and they are justifiably concerned that an airports' employee is going to post their work online.
