Yet, to panelist Michael McFadden, author of Dissecting Antismokers' Brains, all this evidence is questionable. McFadden said the studies conducted on second-hand smoke had been twisted and that no action should be taken to dissuade people from smoking in public spaces.
"It could be that smoking even prevents you from getting cancer. Who knows?" the West Philadelphia resident said.

RE: [UC] Kicked out of The BridgeKyle -- why do you always pick on Pete Coyle? Look -- the guy has to smoke because of a chronic pain problem -- it is strictly a medicinal thing. Maybe if you were in constant pain, you would be a bit more tolerant. Pete- don't even think twice about firing up that blunt, most of us aren't as narrow minded and conservative as Mr. Kyle "Why Are My Neighbors Always Picking on Me" Cassidy.

I emailed the bridge myself and mentioned that I'd been in an unofficial boycott (I just don't go) since "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" because of the constant noise (from both babies and adults and adults acting like babies) and suggested if they had a security guard with a flashlight who'd toss out the talkers, cell phone call takers, criers, and pot smokers I'd go back. Nobody offered me a free night out though. Maybe it was my abusive tone of the email.....

I contacted National Amusements, which owns the Bridge. They have agreed to give Jessica a free night out at the Bridge, if she wants it. There is no law against bringing your baby to the movies at this time. The person who said that was incorrect.
Also, they are planning on launching a specific screening each week dedicated to babies and their parents. This will not happen for at least a few months.
I also spoke with them about the general disturbance problem at the Bridge, which is why I don't go see movies there unless absolutely necessary, and they said that they are taking the concern very seriously and will address it. I'm not holding my breath, but that's all you can do at this point (other than boycott).
