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.
I knew a guy who was a scientist and biology professor. He claimed his family carried the gene to protect them from lung cancer and that he tested himself and that he carried the same gene. He smoked a couple packs a day. He died from lung cancer in his mid 50s. So much for carrying the right gene.

Your typical Thanksgiving Meal produces carcinogens too ;)

Enjoy!
Nobody is saying smoking is good for you. But the surgen general has reported that 9 out of 10 people between the ages of 18 and 120 find it amazingly annoying when someone feels that they are on a mission from God to tell the world that your typical cigarette produces on average about 19 carcinogen by-products and gasses in the smoke.
That is an interesting fact though. I mean 20 carcinogen by-products is my limit. It’s a good thing it only has 19.
If it takes a family history to decide whether smoking causes cancer, does it take a family history to prove whether smugness and self-righteous are inheritable?
It will kill to, and far faster,
Should we ban that too?
Give it a rest.
