That means that even using the biased data that is out there, a USWM smoker has only an 8x more risk of dying from lung cancer than a nonsmoker.

That's still 8x more likely to contract a terrible disease that robs you of your ability to breath and causes great pain. Even if it's not 40-50x (I'm still not entirely convinced that it's not), that's still a tremendous increase in risk. How can it be worth it?

It's legal and I enjoy it. Some people love to eat. I enjoy my coffee and cigarettes. How's that!
