A 32% increase is statistically insignificant. To achieve statistical significance the % increase must be between 200% and 300%.

You don't know what you're talking about. Retake basic statistics. In 116,000 women, a 32% increase in a common disease like breast cancer is statistically significant. That's why the sample size is so large.

Actually, I do know what I am talking about.....I was trying to give you an out to avoid embarrassing yourself.

There was no 32% increase in breast cancer, but rather a 32% increase of RISK of breast cancer in the 116,000 women surveyed.........your own link even states it my way, not yours.

Now, would you care to discuss what "statistically significant" means when it comes ot epidemiology, or do you just wish to continue along with the bias against tobacco?

BTW - you didn't answer my question - care to do so?????
