The above link
clearly explains how false positive results are attained in nicotine tests and
how doctors can minimize such results by reviewing the patients variables -
diet, occupation, etc. It also explains how lab errors can lead to false
positive results. At no time does this article contradict the point of the
original Herald article - smokers should pay higher insurance premiums. Rather
than a misconception this is more like another episode of aspartame redux!! –

COMMENT: You are very much
right Mr. Bosco D. A very smart observation indeed. Could you check if some
middle pages of this topic are missing? Or maybe I dropped them somewhere while
you were asleep?
