"However, let me point out that more than 80% of lung cancer is directly linked to smoking and the majority of premature heart disease is similarly linked."

Lucky Dog is not reading and accepting.  We provide links but he refuses to read them and bring it up for debate and/or discussion.  I guess he is afraid to present his side in any debate because he has no research behind him.  Just what he has been told and he continues to drink kool aide.

I don't know why I provide these links.  They will be totally lost on Lucky Dog, but maybe someone out there can use them.

Lucky Dog is not reading and accepting.

You are partially incorrect: I am reading. However, you are also partially correct in that I am not accepting your proffered support as definitive evidence in the argument.

The preponderance of the evidence as well as logic is against your position.
