| THE world's leading health organization has withheld from publication a study which shows that not only might there be no link between passive smoking and lung cancer but that it could even have a protective effect. The astounding results are set to throw wide open the debate on passive smoking health risks.

Hannegan says he's not "pro-smoking," but, rather, "pro-freedom." "I see it as a property rights issue for the owner or the bar or restaurant," he said.
