Rejected petition Action on Smoking and Health

More details

I call upon the government and the Department of Health to stop funding ASH (Action on Smoking and Health).
They say ‘passive smoking’ kills – but there is no post-mortem evidence to validate their statements.
This organization is no longer a charity, but a political pressure group, in which case it should not be given taxpayers money to lobby the government.
