One thing I can say on this, what is for the one person a medicine, 
will be for the other danger or a strenght of his evil powers or a 
dying product, so why to have prejudices over very old stories.
What we do now on, kerosine-and diesel vapour ,exhaust-gasses,dioxine 
and so on ?What we do on UMTS masts? they are much more dangerous to 
other people,whole nations, than smooking a cigar or sigarette.

Best whishes ChristinaTL.
