While I don't discount this as a distinct possibility, I, nonetheless, must
state that I find this whole research area to be a little less than perfect.
It seems to me that no matter how much they screen people for common factors
that they will miss some when doing a study of this type. They are trying to
determine if the second hand smoke is the factor that leads to greater
strokes, but it is obvious that they can't rule out all other factors, many
of which may be a common link. I also would think that they routinely don't
even ask questions or investigate the use of "approved" substances, like
fluoride, and aspartame, to name two, which could very well be a source of
some or all of the increased risk of stroke. Seems a little shady to me.
