The ignorant, the neurotic, the controlling twits don't even rely on "popularized" summaries. I doubt if the nincompoop nannies on this thread have read anything at all. Their 'feelings' trump science.
When the "grant" welfare types make it as easy to access the complete studies and methodologies as they do the twisted result-driven conclusions, those of us with a life might be able to do just that.
Sheesh!
Interestingly, I wonder how many smokers' behaviors the solid full studies would influence.
Judging by the available evidence and inferrences on these threads . . .
I'd guesstimate few, little to nil on the vast majority.
Because the most heartfelt issue on the other side is not facts . . .
"But doing whatever the blazes selfish thing I want, when I want, how I want to whatever scr*wed up consequences without any accountability or responsibility falling on my well earned shoulders at all, ever, to any degree. "
Very impressive, that.
