They are spinning his cancer as it was his fault because he defiantly smoked.

Many people of all walks of life come down with this insidious cancer.

“Ronald M. Davis, M.D., immediate past president of the American Medical Association and a relentless anti-tobacco advocate, has died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 52.”

This didn’t make the news.

Well let’s put it this way: if you have a family or personal history of cancer it’s not exactly smart to smoke. Your typical cigarette produces on average about 19 carcinogen by-products and gasses in the smoke.

Just returned home from the funeral of a dear friend - pancreatic cancer. Never smoked, watched her diet, exercised...doesn’t matter. My aunt died from it too, same circumstances.
