摘要：Cet article aborde les dédoublements de la publication, en 2003, d’un article scientifique qui contrarie le consensus sur le rapport de causalité entre l’exposition passive à la fumée et certains risques à la santé. La controverse est employée pour démontrer les processus qui ont eu lieu dans la communauté scientifique dans le but d’éliminer la flexibilité interprétative et de déterminer des résultats valables. Nous tentons aussi de démontrer quels éléments non scientifiques sont fondamentaux pour mettre une fin aux controverses, pour la construction de modèles épidémiologiques et leur emploi dans des politiques publiques et des décisions individuelles.
其他摘要：This article addresses, from the standpoint of the Social Studies of Science and Technology, the consequences of the publication, in 2003, of a scientific paper contradicting the consensus on the causal relation between passive exposure to tobacco smoke and certain risks to health. The controversy is employed to demonstrate the processes occurred within the scientific community in order to eliminate the “interpretative flexibility” and to determine the valid results. Furthermore, this paper tries to show that “nonscientific” elements – i.e. the symbolic and moral system related to health and disease in contemporary societies – are fundamental for putting an end to controversies, as well as for the construction of epidemiological models and their use in public policies and individual decisions.
