Miracle Or Mirage Miracle or Mirage Could the Miracle of Helena really be the Mirage of Helena' A prominent editor for the New York Times has hailed the original article as The Miracle of Helena, while urging readers to give the article way more credit than it deservers. According to an article written by Steven Milloy, on Friday October 17, 2003; (The known publisher of Junk Science.Com and known scholar and published author) The Second Hand Smoke Scam. Milloy claims there is not enough factual evidence to support the theory that the ban on smoking in Helena was associated with the drop in heart attack patient admissions at the local hospital. In 2002 the citizens of Helena opted to ban smoking in all public buildings. After a six-month period the ban was rescinded. During the six-month period doctors at a local hospital reported that heart attack patient admissions had dropped. Then after the ban was rescinded the admissions of heart attack patients rebounded to the pre-ban levels. Milloy states there was simply no study to account for heart attack rates dropping due to the smoking ban. Since there had been a similar drop four years prior in 1998. This drop was unrelated to a smoking ban.
