Tac Journal of Proctological Spelunking.
This made me laugh. Seriously.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,26109,00.html
I'm sure Fox news will probably be dismissed much the way you tried to imply my arguments about abortion held no value because they were "primarily religious" but from what I'm reading, the evidence seems quite inconclusive.
Most everything I can find that "supports" those numbers cites the EPA study which was declared by a judge to be essentially junk science. Much in the same way creationists can find data to support their conclusion, people can find data to support second hand smoking killing people.
Smoking has been villanized, so anything that says smoking or second hand smoke is harmful is immediately believed.
I don't feel the need to look for cell phone and cancer studies... I'll let time do its thing for that one.
However, I'll admit it is very difficult to find any data on second hand smoke that isn't from agencies that have agenda's one way or the other. There have been lots of studies and it seems like half of them say yes it does, and the other half say no it doesn't... Given that I personally wouldn't feel comfortable stating that it causes 25,000 deaths a year if I was a government agency, but then I'm not the government.
Here's a couple more articles... but I have no idea how reliable this guy is, but the fact that he hates second hand smoking gives him slightly more credibility than joe blogger.
