One thing I did not see addressed in the excerpt - what about smokers who don't develop lung cancer? It's possible that the genetic background that causes lung cancer in never smokers is what causes some people to develop the disease while other people don't. But, there is probably not enough money in that option to warrant research.

Guess we will have to wait for Fauci to express an opinion, then we can use that as the "Well, it's not that" conclusion.

If they aren’t examining the DNA of Keith Richards and Ozzy Osbourne to figure this out, they should be.
