I’m not sure why this is a surprise. The statistics and cancer incidents were always there. We just happen to have found ONE of the mechanisms.
I’m more curious if they tested on various types of tobacco or was it the ash remains of burning leaves enough to do it? (which implicates pot) or was it something else entirely?
