Paper Summary:
The paper discusses how passive smoking is presented to the public as causing very serious negative effects on health. This view is now very much accepted as fact. At the same time, there is a major contradiction to it, since many people who smoked for many years do not show these effects. The ideas of Jasanoff and Wynne will be used to show that passive smoking is as much politics as it is science. It is a case of information being given to us by experts. The paper examines who are these experts? What are their goals? The paper examines how Jasanoff and Wynne are critical of how problems are presented or framed and about how the issue of uncertainty is dealt with.More papers on Passive Smoking:
